Encode a URL to fit into a querystring

[Christian Blackburn]

Hi Gang,

I need to know the javascript syntax to encode a URL to fit into a
querystring. Basically I want to pass the URL of the current web page
as the subject of an e-mail so it'd be something like:

var email_link = "<a href=\"mailto:wh*****@wherever.com?subject=" +
document.URL + "\">";
document.write(email_link);

Thanks so much,
Christian Blackburn

var o1 = '?&%=';
var o2 = escape(o1);
alert(o2);

I use http://javascript-library.blogdrive.com/archive/17.html

function esc(s){return
window.encodeURIComponent?encodeURIComponent(s):es cape(s)}
var email_link = "<a href=\"mailto:wh*****@wherever.com?subject=" +
esc(document.URL) + "\">";
document.write(email_link);

Hi Guys,

Thank you both for your help. The escape() command worked perfectly.

Cheers,
