urlencode problems

[tenney]

So I have some urls that have a % in them. I urlencode the url, but the javascript seems to mess up the url to the xml.

 

 

 

           var myChart = new FusionCharts("[% page.static %]/charts/Pie3D.swf", "myChartId", "600", "200");

                   var strURL = escape("/data/charts/pie/location_%");

                   alert(strURL);

                   myChart.setDataURL(strURL);

                   myChart.render("chartdiv");

 

 

 

So the alert shows the url encoded correctly as %25. When the request comes for the XML though it is always wrong. It usually looks something like "data/charts/pie/location_m/" or "data/charts/pie/location_Mode/"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's going on here??

Hi,

 

Could you please render the chart in debug mode and send us the debug output, it will show you what data URL is being called?

 

To render the chart in debug mode please use this code:

 

var myChart = new FusionCharts("[% page.static %]/charts/Pie3D.swf?debugMode=1", "myChartId", "600", "200");

Hi,

 

 

 

Please try double escaping the URL or only double escaping the % so that % becomes %2525.
