colon is a character which can be encoded to ‘%3A’ as per many sites and when I try to encode using URIencode it is not working
for example if I try to encode like URIencode(':'); then nothing happens. colon is returned. Why is this?? can someone help me out here.
Thanks in advance.
The
encodeURI()encodes special characters, except:, / ? : @ & = + $ #You should use this instead
encodeURIComponent(':');This function encodes special characters. In addition, it encodes the characters skipped by
encodeURI()
