javascript : send actual html code to url

Question

I have an array of HTML codes like this:

array = ['%', '&#85']

that I would like to send to URL as:

url + '%,U' 

but when I write:

url + array

the result is:

url%,U

Is there a way or function to send the HTML code as it is?

Answer 1

You could probably just put your stringified array into the encodeURIComponent function, which takes care of all non-URL-save special chars and then use the reverse function decodeURIComponent (or its equivalent in other languages) to get the original data back as a string. So what you probably should do is

encoded = encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(array))
decoded = JSON.parse(decodeURIComponent(array))

Answer 2

myArray = ['aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc'];
var arrStr = encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(myArray));
$('#myLink').attr({ href: '/myLink?array=' + arrStr });

Answer 3

Convert array to a string first before appending it to the url .

 var array = ['%', '&#85']; var url = 'foo.baz'; console.log(url + array.join(','));

Answer 4

This would help you.

 let array = ['%', '&#85']; let url = 'https://jsfiddle.net/'; console.log(url+array)
