How do you safely encode a URL using JavaScript such that it can be put into a GET string?
var myUrl = "http://example.com/index.html?param=1&anotherParam=2";
var myOtherUrl = "http://example.com/index.html?url=" + myUrl;
I assume that you need to encode the myUrl
variable on that second line?
Check out the built-in function encodeURIComponent(str) and encodeURI(str).
In your case, this should work:
var myOtherUrl =
"http://example.com/index.html?url=" + encodeURIComponent(myUrl);
