Question

i use jquery.ajax to save a rich text area .

corr=some.innerHTML(); /* corr='< some text <' */
$.ajax({
    type:"POST", url:"flatplan/save_corr.php",
    data:"corr="+corr+"&IDFS="+IDFILES,
    success: function(msg){

    },
    error:function(x,e){
        ajax_errors(x,e);
    }
});

The problem is that the corr variable can contain ‘&’ chars inside and it send more params
giving problems. Is there any way to post with ajax html text?

Answer 1

You can (and should) escape query string components with encodeURIComponent.

data: "corr=" + encodeURIComponent(corr) + "&IDFS=" + encodeURIComponent(IDFILES),

Edit: jQuery can accept an Object in the data field. You should just use

data: ({
  corr: corr,
  IDFS: IDFILES
}),

so that jQuery can automatically encode the query string.
