[Typo3] Replace single whitespace character with other characterin TS: SOLVED

[digitalfan at earthlink.net]

My problem involved being able to use a SELECT BOX MENU with the REALURL extension. To solve my problem, I made a hack that re-writes the normal anchor tags that are created with TMENU, changing them to <option></option> tags. This is the only way to get the select option values to display properly if you are using REALURL, because you can't have the select menu go to "index.php?id=123" because you want to display the page name in the url, and you can't display the page name because it could have spaces, other non-url-encoded characters, etc.

TS Code:
#Includes
includeLibs.test = fileadmin/custom_lib/tmenu_lib.inc
#TMENU Fix
lib.channelselectmenu_1.1 {
  IProcFunc = user_tmenu->fixLinkCodeForSelectBox
  wrap = <br> <div style="margin-bottom:5px">channel selector:</div><select onchange="document.location='http://www.mysite.com/directory/typo3/'+this[this.selectedIndex].value"><option value="">select channel</option> | </select><div style="margin-bottom:2px"></div>
  NO.stdWrap.data = field:subtitle
  NO.stdWrap= |

}

PHP Code (tmenu_lib.inc):

class user_tmenu {
 
 function fixLinkCodeForSelectBox($I,$conf) {
  
  $conf["parentObj"]->I = $I;
  $conf["parentObj"]->setATagParts();
  $I = $conf["parentObj"]->I;

  ///make select box item selected if it's on that page
  if($I["uid"] == $GLOBALS['TSFE']->id)
   $selected_code = " SELECTED";
  else
   $selected_code = "";
  //modify link code to option code
  $I["parts"]["ATag_begin"]="<option value='".$I["linkHREF"]["HREF"]."'".$selected_code.">";
  $I["parts"]["ATag_end"]="</option>";
  
  return $I; 
 }
}
