asked on How do I use jQuery to convert a url in these three formats?
The url I need to process is: http://demo.missionfamily.org/index.php?route=product/allevent
and it should become:
mailto: email address has to be empty as it will need to be filled in
subject: whatever I can get from: var thisTitle (whose spaces will need to be converted into %20)
body: whatever I can get from: var thisLink (this will be a url link which will need to be converted to the format compatible with the maito syntax.
So in the third case basically the result should look something like: mailto:?subject=Congrats%2
Please help, as I am completely clueless. The rest of the code for the structure where these links have to go I have already managed but I haven't a clue as to how to generate these links
thanks in advance
and it should become:

I don't know how to formulate this one at all, but here are the details:mailto: email address has to be empty as it will need to be filled in
subject: whatever I can get from: var thisTitle (whose spaces will need to be converted into %20)
body: whatever I can get from: var thisLink (this will be a url link which will need to be converted to the format compatible with the maito syntax.

Hi Rob,
hmmm... I think you misunderstood me. That I knew how to do. What I need is how to convert the normal URL format in to the appropriate format that facebook/twitter/email take (where spaces become %20, : become %3A, etc.)
thanks

ah sorry, then you just use the encodeURI() function:
$(function() {
var url = encodeURI(location.href);
var title = encodeURI(document.title);
var facebook = "https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=" + url + "t=" + title;
var twitter = "https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Mission%20Family%20ACLI&url="+url+"&via=Mission_Famil
var email = "mailto:?subject=Congrats%
})
$(function() {
var url = encodeURI(location.href);
var title = encodeURI(document.title);
var facebook = "https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=" + url + "t=" + title;
var twitter = "https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Mission%20Family%20ACLI&url="+url+"&via=Mission_Famil
var email = "mailto:?subject=Congrats%
})

Hi Rob,
I am getting the output like this (for another URL):
url = http://demo.missionfamily.org/index.php?route=product/event&product_id=10
title = Test%20event-%20by%20partn
I think this needs some other type of encoding, don't you? The http:// should become: http%3A%2F%2F

I managed it with encodeURIComponent :D
thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
