Removing %20 value from get method

Question

Removing %20 in get method?

var c=new Array(a);    
(eg: a={"1","2"})  window.location="my_details.html?"+  c + "_";  

and in my_details.html :

var q=window.location.search;    
alert("qqqqqqqqqqqqq " + q);   
var arrayList = (q)? q.substring(1).split("_"):[];      
var list=new Array(arrayList);    
alert("dataaaaaaaaaaaa " +  list  + "llll " ); 

and in "list" its dusplaying me "1%202";

How can I remove this %20 =space value ??

Thanks

Solution

just use this:

alert("dataaaaaaaaaaaa " +  decodeURIComponent(list)  + "llll " );

This should decode the %20 to space

look here: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_decodeURIComponent.asp

there is no space. I don't know how %20 is getting added there. I can not use POST. How can i resolve this using GET?

@Sneha, I'm not sure why that is, but you can use unescape(text) function to decode the %20 into an actual space. Hope that helps.

Please don't link to W3Schools. They are too often wrong. (Half way down that page they forget about the "Component" part and start tossing about whole URLs instead which doesn't make for a good example and yet manages to be one of the best pages W3Schools has).

[Quentin]

unescape is deprecated. Don't use it.

[evildead]

do you have a better source than them? I actually don't find a page which has a better example.

[Quentin]

MDN is usually better, although in this case it is actually something of a toss up: developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects‌​/…

[evildead]

ok, this is somehow just a stub. But I will take MDN in account on others post. I think for this special case w3schools fits best.

@Quentin, Woah! Did not know that. Thanks! :)
