Encoding rendered data for URLs

philip

What is the preferred method to encode data for URLs. For example:

"columnDefs": [ 
         "targets": 4,
         "render": function ( data, type, full, meta ) {
                return '<a href="example.php?data='+data+'&name='+full[2]+'">Example</a>';
         }
    },

I need to encode full[2] here, and data for the matter, as they may contain characters such as & or ". I blindly attempted full[2].text() to no avail. Perhaps a columnDefs or render option to encode all values? Or nice ways to encode them individually?

Use encodeURIComponent.
