How to encode a query string so that it is the value of another query string in javascript?

Question

I have a javascript function which passes as a query string value another query string.

In other words, I want the query string to be:

Native escape method does that. but also you can create a custom encoder like:

function encodeUriSegment(val) {
  return encodeUriQuery(val, true).
             replace(/%26/gi, '&').
             replace(/%3D/gi, '=').
             replace(/%2B/gi, '+');
}

this will replace keys used in query strings. further more you can apply it to any other custom encodings by adding needed key-values pairs.
