I’m quite puzzled by this one, getting this error from firefox.
escape is not a function
Looking at the W3C page, it says it is supported as I thought.
I tried escapeURI instead and this produced the same error.
Any suggestions ?
There is an
escapefunction in DOM level 1 so your code should work. The most likely explanation for the problem is that you have either overwritten it or declared a newescapevariable in a local scope. If the latter, then you should be able to get access to it viawindow.escape.You shouldn’t be using this function anyway; it has been deprecated because it doesn’t handle non-ASCII characters very well. Use
encodeURIComponentinstead.
