Question

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(".commentPost").live('click',function() {
        var expressID = $(this).attr('id');
        var comment = $("#getComment"+expressID).attr('value');

        //If comment contains & then how to pass it in URL??
        $.get('../addons/comment.jsp?comment='+comment+'&expressID='+expressID, function(data) {
            $('#commentBlock'+expressID).append(data);
            $("#getComment"+expressID).attr('value','');
        });
    });
</script>

Please tell me how to pass & as text in URL. And how to replace it using jQuery.

Answer 1

Use the second argument to pass a data hash. This way jQuery will take care of properly url encoding:

var data = { comment: comment, expressID: expressID };
$.get('../addons/comment.jsp', data, function(data) {
    $('#commentBlock'+expressID).append(data);
    $("#getComment"+expressID).attr('value','');
});
