Hi guys, This is a question about JavaScript to Servlet communication. Although the problem is straightforward, I have included a lengthy explanation to communicate it to you as best as I can... I am writing a Servlet that has for it's graphical front-end some JavaScript involving drag and drop functionality. Basically the user drags some area of the page to a target, and this sends data back to the servlet. The problem is that the data sent is a URL with parameters, for example the Yahoo stock quote site: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=LNUX&d=v1 So the JavaScript call to my servlet looks like the following, with the parameter called "data" http://www.myhost.com/servlets/package.servlet?data=http://finance.yahoo.com /q?s=LNUX&d=v1 What happens is that the Servlet parameter "data" only contains "http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=LNUX" and is missing the rest of the line (i.e. &d=v1 in this example) I guess, I need to code the URL using Javascript to remove the &'s before sending it to the servlet, and then decode the URL by my servlet. Are there standard encoding and decoding functions that I should use on the JavaScript and Servlet side? Is there a standard way of doing this, or do I have to invent the wheel?
