Tips and Notes
Note: The escape() function encodes special characters, with the exception of:* @ - _ + . /
Tip: Use the unescape() function to decode strings encoded with escape().
Note: The escape() and unescape() functions should not be used to encode or decode URIs. Use encodeURI() and decodeURI() functions instead!
Example
In this example we use escape() to encode strings:<script type="text/javascript"> document.write(escape("Visit google!") + "<br />");
document.write(escape("?!=()#%&"));</script> |
The output of the code above will be:
Visit%20google%21 jsref_escape.asp@%21%3D%2528%2529%23%25%26 |
