escape pound sign

[marouanemeft]

Hi
I have a jsp page that is being passed a few paramaters, but it doesn't function properly if a parameter name or parameter value has a pound sign in it, for example if a parameter value is "#someValue" then things won't function.
is there any method in javascript that will escape the pound sign?

Thanks in advance

try something like this:

str = 'somepage.jsp?var1=!@#$%^&';
str = escape(str);
window.location = str;

and on your receiving page, use unescape(str) to turn the characters back into their literal values
