Ext.URLEncode Problem on JSON wth Array

[flatburger]

i found this tutorial

Ext.urlEncode

i see this is a good approach, but i see if we implement in JSON whcih have array inside, this encode cannot be use.

any idea to send json with array notation inside

:-? hmmmm...



var myJsonObect = {
a: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
b: 3,
c: 'myStringValue'
};

Ext.urlEncode(myJsonObject); // returns "a=1&a=2&a=3&a=4&a=5&b=3&c=myStringValue"

maybe he was using a previous version of Ext?

In the past, i've separated these array values and make them CSV - if the'yre numbers.

:-/ both the 1.1.1 and 2.x urlEncode() methods do the same thing.

p.s. i checked all the way back to the yui-ext-0.33 release (which doesn't contain the urlEncode() method). the 1.0 urlEncode() method works the same (internal code's slightly different though).

I just tried out some variations of what people usually thinks is an array and here's one occasion where it isn't encoded properly:


var myJsonObject = {
a: {"1" : 1, "2": 2, "3" : 3},
b: 3,
c: 'myStringValue'
};

Ext.urlEncode(myJsonObject); // "b=3&c=myStringValue"

solution:
I encode dictionnaries in parameters using the JSON utils :)

eh?


a: {"1" : 1, "2": 2, "3" : 3}

isn't an array by any means in js. it's a js object.

that said, your test does show one limitation -- not of the urlEncode() method, but of passing arguments to the server via a URL string -- and brings up one question -- how, if it be possible, should one represent an object value in a URL string? :-? (notice that the urlEncode() method ignores function values also)

[edit]
d'oh... didn't catch that last bit of your post... "I encode dictionnaries in parameters using the JSON utils". :">
