Hope someone finds the code below useful...
I used to just use ascii but now I've changed to utf8 :-)
Code:
function URLEncode(string, encoding) {
if (encoding == "ascii") {
var i;
var hex = "";
for (i = 0; i < string.length; ++i) {
hex += "%" + hexfromdec(string.charCodeAt(i));
}
return hex;
} else {
string = string.replace(/\r\n/g, "\n");
var utftext = "";
for (var n = 0; n < string.length; n++) {
var c = string.charCodeAt(n);
if (c < 128) {
utftext += String.fromCharCode(c);
} else if (c > 127 && c < 2048) {
utftext += String.fromCharCode(c >> 6 | 192);
utftext += String.fromCharCode(c & 63 | 128);
} else {
utftext += String.fromCharCode(c >> 12 | 224);
utftext += String.fromCharCode(c >> 6 & 63 | 128);
utftext += String.fromCharCode(c & 63 | 128);
}
}
return escape(utftext);
}
}
function URLDecode(encodedString, encoding) {
if (encoding == "ascii") {
var output = encodedString;
var binVal, thisString;
var myregexp = /(%[^%]{2})/;
while ((match = myregexp.exec(output)) != null &&
match.length > 1 && match[1] != "") {
binVal = parseInt(match[1].substr(1), 16);
thisString = String.fromCharCode(binVal);
output = output.replace(match[1], thisString);
}
return output;
} else {
var string = "";
var i = 0;
var c = c1 = c2 = 0;
while (i < encodedString.length) {
c = encodedString.charCodeAt(i);
if (c < 128) {
string += String.fromCharCode(c);
i++;
} else if (c > 191 && c < 224) {
c2 = encodedString.charCodeAt(i + 1);
string += String.fromCharCode((c & 31) << 6 | c2 & 63);
i += 2;
} else {
c2 = encodedString.charCodeAt(i + 1);
c3 = encodedString.charCodeAt(i + 2);
string += String.fromCharCode((c & 15) << 12 | (c2 & 63) << 6 | c3 & 63);
i += 3;
}
}
return unescape(string);
}
}
