How to escape “&” ampersand character in form input using jQuery

Question

I have a problem with my jQuery script that send data via POST method. The problem is whenever it sends data via Ajax that has an "&" ampersand in the sentence

Answer 1

If you pass your data parameter as a Javascript object, it will convert the characters for you (and IMO make the code look neater). So you should change your $.ajax call to the following:

data: {"user_id": user_id, "time_r": time_r, "task_d": task_d, "p_id": p_id, "df": finished},
