Solved: JavaScript: URL Encode All Non-whitelisted Characters

I want JavaScript functions that will work just like escape() but I want all non-whitelisted charachters to be encoded.

These charachters should be whitelisted:

bcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzBCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789_

Because the letter "A" is not whitelisted, it should be URL encoded.

For example:
A test, 123-456

Should become:
%41%20test%2C%20123%2D456%20

alert(escapeNonWhitelisted(x));

function escapeNonWhitelisted(str) {
