Escaping jQuery data being sent via POST

Question

I\'m using jQuery.ajax to extract form data from a page, and send it to my database (via another PHP page).

The form information is collected by:

var         


        

Answer 1

encodeURIComponent will do what you are looking for.

var X = encodeURIComponent($('#div1').val());
var Y = encodeURIComponent($('#div2').val());

This will encode all potentially insecure characters.
