i need to create some kind of script that will convert a url with get values (a search url) so it can be sent as a get value.

example:
url="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=aeon+site%3Aaeonofdarkness.com";
url=convert(url);
location.replace("http://aeonofdarkness.com/otherstuff.php?url="+url);

this way i can send the url, using javascript, from one page to another. (the other page would reprocess it and turn it back into the original url)


i was hoping there was some function that did this to optimize things, i couldn't find one...

encodeURIComponent/decodeURIComponent will do it but they need a reasonably modern version of JavaScript, on IE then version 5.5, not sure if supported by Netscape et al. You could also try the older escape/unescape methods.
