...I recently found: encodeURIComponent(). Works nicely in avoiding
crashing due to special characters (#, & ,%, etc). See example below.
Also been wondering though, could I do this a cleaner way that I'm not aware
of??
cheers,
Mark
function SomeFunction(textparam1, textparam2) {
// wherever the user has the ability to pass in special
characters,
// we need to escape out of those characters before passing:
var passParam1 = encodeURIComponent(textparam1);
var passParam2 = encodeURIComponent(textparam2);
var pars = 'FORM.Param1=' + passParam1 + '&FORM.Param2=' +
passParam2 ;
var resultDomElem = 'divResult'; //divID;
new Ajax.Updater(resultDomElem, '[path to server side calling
page]',
{
asynchronous:true,
parameters: pars,
onSuccess:function(){
Element.setOpacity(resultDomElem, 0.0, {queue:
{position:'end', scope: 'scope1'} });
Effect.Appear(resultDomElem, { duration: 1.0 }, {queue:
{position:'end', scope: 'scope1'} } );
}
}
);
}
