Summary

escapedis the encoded string.regularis a regular string.
[edit]
Example

Notes
The escape() method converts special characters (any characters that are not regular text or numbers) into hexadecimal characters, which is especially necessary for setting the values of cookies. Also useful when passing name=value pairs in the URL of a GET request, or an AJAX GET/POST request.
