URL-encoding
Question: How do I convert a string to URL-encoding?
Answer:
To convert a string to the URL-encoded form
suitable for transmission as a query string
(or, generally speaking, as part of a URL), use the escape function.
This function works as follows:
digits, Latin letters and the characters + - * / . _ @
remain unchanged; all other characters in the original string
are replaced by escape-sequences %XX, where
XX is the ASCII code of the original character.
Example:
escape("It's me!") // result: It%27s%20me%21
In Unicode-aware browsers (that support JavaScript 1.3)
the function escape has a more complex behavior.
If the input is a Unicode string, then Unicode characters
will be converted to the Unicode escape-sequences %uXXXX.
