Encodes a text string as a valid Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)

encodeURI(URIString)

The required URIString argument is a value representing an encoded URI.

Remarks

The encodeURI method returns an encoded URI. If you pass the result to decodeURI, the original string is returned. The encodeURI method does not encode the following characters: ":", "/", ";", and "?". Use encodeURIComponent to encode these characters.

Requirements
