How does the encode() and scramble() functions work??

[TheSaint99]

Hey everybody,

I got a question about 2 javascript functions. The encode() and scramble() functions. How do these functions work and how can I use them.
I've seen the next examples:

{
u="examplestring";
var y1=0;
for (var i=0; i<8; i++) {
y1=encode(u,i,i+1,y1);
}

and

var y2=scramble(y1);

Anybody who can help me out?
Thnx in advance,

TheSaint

http://www.devguru.com/Technologies/ecmascript/quickref/javascript_index.html

bookmark that site.

It has all the javascript functions on it (as well as vbScript and a host of others) with code examples and thorough explanations on how to use them. It's the best quick reference out there.

Thnx for your help, but I can't find the functions encode() and scramble(). So I still don't know what they mean, do or how I can use them...

Then I think you are mistaken about their existence --

Maybe you are thinking of escape() and unescape()

Those two are there, and basically what they do is take out any illegal characters and replace them with ANSI equivalents so that they can be passed via querystring to another web page -- unescape() 'decodes' the string --

Check devguru for further explanation.

good luck!

What link9 means is they take illegal characters and convert them to %xx format (where xx is the hex code for the character). For example, space will be converted to %20. Tracy Dryden
