I also ran into this. There is a javascript function to help

gauge1.setDataURL("URL?" + encodeURIComponent("param1=111¶m2=222"));

I have tried almost everything that makes logical sense to me. I am wondering if maybe double encoding will do the trick: %2526...

I am running into the same issue. Any thoughts?

Problem with setDataURL and Ampersand

jlanza — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 09:46:18 GMT

I am using the setDataURL method and want to pass other parameters via GET query string. All works fine except when one of the parameters is an ampersand.

For example

myChart.setDataURL(escape("/loadchart/chart?param1=" + param1 + "¶m2=" + param2));
myChart.render(id);

It works fine when: param1 = 'string1', param2 = 'param2'
However, if fails when: param1 = 'strin&g1', param2 = 'param2'

Replacing & with %26 does not fix the problem as I would have expected it would.

Please help.
