submit data by GET method with special character

12 New Member
Hi All,

I would like to ask if I submit the data by the method="get", how can I handle the character (eg. &) without using the escape() or encodeURI() function ?

Thanks and Regards,

How about encodeURICompon ent()?

Why do you want to avoid those functions? They are exactly what you need. Use escape function in case you are working with ANSI (Windows)/ISO encodings and encodeURICompon ent in case you are working with UTF-8. But general answer to your question:

You dont need to replace characters: [ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO PQRSTUVWXYZabcd efghijklmnopqrs tuvwxyz01234567 89_-].
Replace rest chars in your output string with "%" + HEX code of character (only for characters with code under 256 - ANSI/ISO) and replace spaces with "+" character. Unicode characters are even harder to handle (thats where encodeURICompon ent comes into play).

So your '&' character should be replaced with '%26' in output string.

But I dont recommend to do it yourself. use escape/encodeURICompon ent instead.

The problem is I have 3 buttons that need to submit the form to different URL. My approach is to declare <input type="submit"> rather than <input type="button">. And put the following in the JavaScript: InputForm.action="URL LOCATION" InputForm.method="POST"; I think we don't need InputForm.submit(); because <input type="submit">.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
