& signs in document.href (mailto:)

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 26.2006

A “send this page to a friend reads”

{
function friendlist()
document.location.href = “mailto:?subject=You’ll like this page on HandicappedPets.com&body=It’s at: “+ window.document.location.href
}

The problem is that the doc I’m trying to send is:

http://www.handicappedpets.com/gallery/index.php?category_id=&parent_id=0&photo_id=5&countdisplay=&start=0

The & signs in the URL mess up the &body section so that all I get in the body of the email is:

http://www.handicappedpets.com/gallery/index.php?category_id=

Can I parse the document.location.href somehow to change tha & sign to “%38” ? Any other ideas?

Thanks,

@felgallMar 26.2006 — Will not work for a lot of people because 10% have Javascript turned off and a significant portion of others don't have an email program available on their computer that is linked to the browser (eg. internet cafes, computer clubs, those who only have email access via webmail, etc.).
