replace space in URL JavaScript

Question

These are the 2 relevant lines from a function written in Javascript.

    var v_depttime = document.getElementById("EDDepttime").value ;
    url=url+"?select_bno="+v_busno+"&select_depttime="+v_depttime ;

It sends the select_depttime as 2010-01-24 14:30:00 and I want it to be an URL encoded string like 2010-01-24%2014:30:00

How is it done in JavaScript?

Answer 1

Use encodeURI or encodeURIComponent.

Answer 2

Use encodeURIComponent:

url = url +
  "?select_bno=" + encodeURIComponent(v_busno) +
  "&select_depttime=" + encodeURIComponent(v_depttime);
