Some values being changes when passing through URL

[sancha]

Hi,
i am trying to pass values to a struts action using javascript. It
works fine until the value has something like '+' or '&' sign in it.
Is this a problem with javascript or these values cannot be passed in
the URL ?

takeExample.do?field='+field+'&Code='+code

this is the url im making

if code is 'trying + something else'
i get 'trying something else' from the request.getParameter

if it is 'trying & something else'
i get 'trying '


Please Help
Thnax in advance

Look into JavaScript's escape() and unescape():

Look into JavaScript's escape() and unescape():

The escape and unescape functions are deprecated. They are also
inappropriate when not applied to the entire URL (as in this case).

See my post to the earlier incarnation of this thread.
