Error Encoding of URL Query String when changing the innerHTML from javascript function, code:

String.prototype.ReWriteIdwriterKey=function()
{
var _old,_new,_s;
_s=this;
/*...*/
return(_s);

}
var pContentDiv=document.getElementById("pContentDiv");
pContentDiv.innerHTML=pContentDiv.innerHTML.ReWriteIdwriterKey(); 

The url page is gb2312 encoding, so the Encoding of URL Query String in the page should be gb2312, but after execute code above, the Encoding of URL Query String is utf8, which is wrong, cause the server can't decoding right.

Firefox 3.0 and 2.0.0.14 both have this problem, but Firefox 2.0.0.12 is ok.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.visit http://cache.tianya.cn/publicforum/content/free/1/1306777.shtml and other similar tianya pages
2.click the author url include chinese char in two or more floor(becuase one floor's author url encoded by web server)
3.
Actual Results:  
Encoding of URL Query String is utf8（one chinese char = %..%..%..）

Expected Results:  
Encoding of URL Query String is gb2312（one chinese char = %..%..）
