Convert special characters to any string you want using replace() function in javascript. Useful when converting characters to be saved in the database or passed as a parameter in a url.
function convertSC(oldstring)
{
newstring = oldstring.replace(/”/g, “_DQ_”); //double quote
newstring = newstring.replace(/’/g, “_SQ_”); //apostrophe
newstring = newstring.replace(/&/g, “_@_”); //ampersand
newstring = newstring.replace(/%/g, “_PC_”); //percentage
return newstring;
}
Example:
var convertme = convertSC(“hello world and hello universe”);
alert(converme);
Output:
hello world _@_ hello universe
