Flatten a javascript object to pass as querystring

Question

I have a javascript object that I need to flatten into a string so that I can pass as querystring, how would I do that? i.e:

{ cost: 12345, insertBy: \'testUse

Here's a non-jQuery version:

function toQueryString(obj) {
    var parts = [];
    for (var i in obj) {
        if (obj.hasOwnProperty(i)) {
            parts.push(encodeURIComponent(i) + "=" + encodeURIComponent(obj[i]));
        }
    }
    return parts.join("&");
}
