Hi,
When you pass a string into `Ajax.Request`, you're taking
responsibility for properly encoding it. Since you're not specifying a
different encoding, the default is URI encoding, in which the '#'
should be encoded as %23.
To correctly encode your parameters, encode each component (e.g., the
name or value) using `encodeURIComponent`. Since you're just using a
single string, not a series of name=value items, for you that would
be:
new Ajax.Request('/some_url', {
method: 'get',
parameters: encodeURIComponent(token)
});
You'll want to ensure that whatever is receiving it decodes it
correctly as well. I mention that since you're not using named
parameters, and so I suspect you have server-side code looking
directly at the query string, which will be encoded. (If your server-
side code were dealing with a framework of some kind that handles
named parameters for you, that framework would decode for you.)
If you were doing named parameters, like "foo=bar", you would do the
component parts, not the whole thing:
params = encodeURIComponent("foo") + "=" + encodeURIComponent("bar");
new Ajax.Request('/some_url', {
method: 'get',
parameters: params
});
(You rarely see people encoding the name portion, because most of the
time they're simple names that don't need encoding -- e.g., in teh
above, "foo" is the same before and after encoding and so I could have
omitted it. I couldn't if "foo" had any interesting characters in it.)
HTH,
