Unable to decode special character using urlDecode

[harishns]

Hi,
I am facing a problem with Ext.urlDecode function, it is throwing error "uri to be decoded is not a valid encoding" if I pass the special characters('™®©'),
any idea on this

Thanks in advance

From the documentation (http://extjs.com/deploy/dev/docs/?class=Ext):


urlDecode( String string, [Boolean overwrite] ) : Object

Takes an encoded URL and and converts it to an object.

Passing a string to this function containing your characters (™®©) is considered invalid. Your characters are not encoded URL characters - which would be "%E2%84%A2%C2%AE%C2%A9"

I imagine that you are thinking of the urlEncode() function.
