Problems with sending an encoded url

[Kavita.K.Singh]

Hello Gurus
thankyou for your help in advance ......heres my problem

var vAppPath=(my file)
xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
xmlHttp.open("POST",vAppPath,false);
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlHttp.send("text=" +
escape(document.getElementById("tledit").value));

were document.getElementById("tledit").value = assccéccèccÉcc
d'abonnccàcc ccÀcc ccboccîccte

now in my file.....i do try to read the text
text = request("text")

the text = asscccccccc d'abonncccc cccc ccboccccte

the french characters are stripped out. I think its the escape
functions thats doing this.
is there a way to over come this?

Don't use the escape function use encodeURIComponent instead.

Don't use the escape function use encodeURIComponent instead.

An alternative worth considering is to post XML instead.

Change the client code:-

var vAppPath=(my file)
var domReq = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
domReq.appendChild(domReq.createElement("text")).text =
document.getElementByID("tledit").value
xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
xmlHttp.open("POST",vAppPath,false);
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","text/xml");
xmlHttp.send domReq


Now on the Server:-

Dim domReq: Set domReq = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.3.0")
domReq.async = false
domReq.load Request

text = domReq.documentElement.text

Thankyou every much Mr Jones :-D

the encodeURIComponent did the trick
