Passing & (ampersand) to a new window

[jodleren]

Hi

Pretty simple, I am sure. I have a small JS script, which is

function OpenSomething(input)
{
win3=window.open("some_file.php?info=" +
input,"mywin","width=500,height=600,scrollbars=yes ,resizable=yes");
return false;
}

The problem is that "input" comes from a text box, and can contain
ampersand.
All I need is to replace ampersand with %26, and do the same in PHP
(which I know how to do).
But how do I do that in JS?

About the same way you do in PHP, you replace it.

newInput = input.replace(/&/g,'%26')
