Question

I am trying to pass a text by parameter (with whitespaces) to the load function and it seems it doesn’t work.

Currently i am doing this:

var text ="hello world this is an example";
$("#selector").load("http://"+ document.domain + "/myfunction/"+text);

Is there any way to do it?

If i call the function by URL directly, not with jQuery, it works well.

Thanks.

You should encode “text” with encodeURI:

var text = encodeURI('hello world this is an example');

This will ensure that your whitespaces are replaced with url compatible characters, which your browser does internally when you’re directly accessing the url.
