JavaScript escape() Function


Function Reference Complete Function Reference

Definition and Usage

The escape() function encodes a string, so it can be read on all computers.

Syntax

escape(string)

Parameter Description
string Required. The string to be encoded


Tips and Notes

Note: The escape() function encodes special characters, with the exception of:
* @ - _ + . /

Tip: Use the unescape() function to decode strings encoded with escape().

Note: The escape() and unescape() functions should not be used to encode or decode URIs. Use encodeURI() and decodeURI() functions instead!


Example

In this example we use escape() to encode strings:

<script type="text/javascript">

document.write(escape("Visit W3Schools!") + "<br />");
document.write(escape("?!=()#%&"));

</script>

The output of the code above will be:
