unescape
Question: How do I convert strings from URL-encoding?
Answer:
To convert a string from URL-encoded form, use the JavaScript function
unescape(string) .
This function works as follows:
if the string contains escape-sequences
of the form %XX , where XX stands for two hexadecimal digits,
each escape-sequence is replaced by the character whose ASCII code is XX .
Otherwise, the string remains unchanged.
(In Unicode-aware browsers, in addition to escape-sequences %XX ,
the unescape function also processes sequences
of the form %uXXXX ;
see also escape .)
Example:
unescape("It%27s%20me%21")
// result: "It's me!"
