javascript encodeURIComponent and converting spaces to + symbols
encodeuricomponent, javascript, regex, replace
Solution
encodeURIComponent(search).replace(/%20/g, "+");
What you're doing wrong here is that first you convert spaces to pluses, but then `encodeURIComponent` converts pluses to `"%2B"`.
Problem
I would like to encode my URL, but I want to convert spaces to plus symbols. This is what I attempted to do... ``` var search = "Testing this here &"; encodeURIComponent(search.replace(/ /gi,"+")); ``` The output from that is `Testing%2Bthis%2Bhere%2B%26` but what I would like it to be is `Testing+this+here+%26` I tried replacing the space with `%20` to convert it into a plus symbol, but that didn't seem to work. Can anyone tell me what it is I'm doing wrong here?
