encodeURIComponent() is missing?

[Serguei.Goumeniouk]

Dear Experts,
I have a very simple javascript codes with a following lines inside:
............................
var str = "";
.. . . . . . . . . .
str = String(new Date()); // #1
str += fobj.elements[i].name + "=" + fobj.elements[i].value +
"&"; // #2
str += fobj.elements[i].name + "=" +
encodeURIComponent(fobj.elements[i].value) + "&"; // #3
str = 'Test'; // #4
............................

1) If I commented out the line #3 everything works OK.
2) If I leave this line in my script, lines #1 and #2 have no
problems, but the line #3 failed (without any trace) and I never reach
the line #4.

It seems the global function "encodeURIComponent()" is missing (by the
way, the global functions "String()" and "Date()" are not missing and
they returns a correct value).
How I can fix this problem?
Regards,
Serguei.

Test this:

<script type='text/javascript'>
alert('=' + encodeURIComponent('blah') + '&');
</script>

If that works it should work.

Please explain precisely and exactly how you create that form reference

and how it is defined, accessed.

Please define which browser and browser version you are testing here.

The following works as expected in Firefox 2.0.0.2 and in Seamonkey 1.5a
rv:1.9a3pre build 2007031608 under XP Pro SP2.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<title>Testing encodeURIComponent(str)</title>

<script type="text/javascript">
function encode()
{
alert("= " +
encodeURIComponent(document.forms["FormName"].elements["NotEncodedYet"].value));
}
</script>

<form name="FormName" action="">
<p><input name="NotEncodedYet" type="text"><br>
<input type="button" value="Encode" onclick="encode();"></p>
</form>

Hi Gérard,
1) I removed all form-related stuff and just call this function like
following:
str = encodeURIComponent('Serg');
OR
str = alert(encodeURIComponent('Serg'));

In both cases my script does not work. It seems this function is
missing in some JavaScript library. By the way, my web application
works OK, if an IE browser is launched at my friend's computer.

2) I tried 2 browsers:
Internet Explorer version 6.0.2900.2180
Mozilla Firefox version 1.5.0.10

Serguei.

Hi Evertjan,
No, this test does not work. It seems the encodeURIComponent()
function is missing or it is not accessible. By the way, my web
application works, if an IE browser is launched from some another
computer. I compare settings of both browsers and they are identical.

Serguei.

Reading is easier, intuitive, natural because the chronological order of
messages (messages, replies, replies to replies, etc.) is easy to do, is
done from top to bottom (we all read from top to bottom) and contextual
reading, contextual comprehensiveness of the last message are preserved,
guaranteed. The readers do not have to scroll up and down all the time
to figure out what was said or replied, to understand the contextual
logic of a long discussion spread on several messages, within a thread,
among several posters. When bottom-posting is respected, the last
message of a thread keeps all the important issues of a long thread of
messages.
Bottom-posting serves the purpose of archiving and of searching among
posted messages.

In what way or why (avantages, inconvénients) bottom-posting would be

better?

>To reply after quoted material (bottom-posting) or, even better, to

reply inside the quoted message, at the spot where you want to reply

>>What do you propose then?
When you reply before quoted text, people end up reading in the

reverse order of exchanges of posted messages. We all read from top to
bottom, not from bottom to top.

>>>>What?? What are you talking about??
>It's when you reply after quoted replies
>>What's top-posting anyway?
>>>Please stop top-posting!
