Subject: Escaping of utf8 characters
The javascript escape() function seems to escape unicode characters >255 differently than URI::Escape::uri_escape_utf8 does. The attached html/js sample escapes the euro sign and all tested browsers (Mozilla/1.6 and Opera on Linux, MSIE 6 on Windows) return "%u20AC" as result, whereas uri_escape_utf8 returns the encoded 3-byte-representation. So my question: who is right, who is wrong? Regards, Slaven
