javascript escape function

Hello Experts,
I am generating dynamic text areas on the page, capturing its data and assigning to the variable before being posted. The problem is for all the spaces in the data it is converting it to "%20" , al though I am using escape function but still not doing it right. Can someone please advice?

something like this

sItemdNotes += "," + escape($("#editedData"+currId).html());

sItemdNotes= test%20notes,hello%20how%20are%20you --> this is how it is doing it at the moment

Thanks
Sam

Hi

Try sItemdNotes += "," + escape($("#editedData"+currId).val());

The statement should be:

sItemdNotes= 'test%20notes,hello%20how%20are%20you'

Open in new window

Hello Guys,
Thanks for your comments, apparently I dont think I can use val() as I am capturing the data from the html

It is not returning anything if I use val().

please can you visit my app here

http://213.253.134.6/artism/admin/list_admin.asp#testAll

if you notice in the grid, i have a notes link, upon clicking it you will get a dialog( jquery facebox plugin) to accept data and once you add text please click on the right close button to see the text getting appended to the html Id, it is doing it fine, but when you want to save this by selecting the row and giving a unique listname, click on save.

i am currently showing it as an alert ... please have a look.
