JS/jQuery encode URL for getJSON

[TechBoyJK]

Hey Guys, I have a string with special characters that need to be passed via getJSON

$.getJSON("https://me.com/login.cfc?method=login&email=" + email + "&password=" + password,function(result){});

Basically, the 'password' variable has special characters in it. But I have other functions that may have special characters, so I need to know a best practice on how to deal with it.

What's the best way to encode that?

You want to use the method encodeURIComponent() on the string you want to encode.

Thanks, I was about to do that, but saw this method

								$.getJSON(
									'http://my.com/login.cfc',
										{
										method : 'login',
										email : email,
										password : password,
										},
										function(result){

which seems to work!

I imagine they are encoding it within the implementation of that function.
