Awesome code. Works great! I found that
many people (i.e. in newsgroups) dont
know there is a solution for the
problem in which JavaScript translates
encoded URLs back to decoded URLs when
passing through functions. Re-encoding
them with this code works great. Thanks
a lot!

Alas, this code doesn't work as
expected.
The "strText.replace" part
replaces only the FIRST occurrence of
any character; other occurrences are
untouched.
I would propose the
following instead:
var strRet =
"";
(....)
for( i = 0; i<
strText.length; i++ ) strRet += escape(
strText.charAt( i ) );
(...)
return strRet;
Some more
comments:
1. variable "isObj" is
initialized, but never used.
2.
strText can't ever be null, if typeof(
strText ) returns true. So the
null-test is unnecessary.
3. This
function does not solve certain
problems you may encounter when the
urlencoded variable contains a
"+"
character (which is interpreted as a
space in many browsers and server
programs, like PHP). But that is
a
problem of those programs, I guess.
