Jquery "load" for the path contains spaces - need help!

Question

Now I work in a file manager that will be used in my simple cms, and I have a problem in the jquery download function when it takes a path containing spaces. is there any way to overcome this problem?

<script src="jquery.js"></script> <script> function get_content(){ $("#content").load("uploads/flashes/New folder/target.php") ; } </script> <div id="content"></div> 

Answer 1

You can "encode uricomponent" your url:

 $("#content").load(encodeURIComponent("uploads/flashes/New folder/target.php")); 

Javascript encodeURIComponent method is equivalent to URLEncode.

Answer 2

You can use %20 to represent a space.

 $("#content").load("uploads/flashes/New%20folder/target.php");

EDIT:

If you do not want to do this manually, you can use encodeURI() instead . There are many common URI characters that it does not encode which escape() will be.
