Thanks Earnie, but that is not what I am looking for. It is essentially similar to urlencode or rawurlencode. I am looking for a function that does the work like the one present at the bottom of the page here:<br><br><a href="http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/topics/urlencoding.htm">http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/topics/urlencoding.htm</a><br>
<br>For eg:<br><br><a href="http://example.com/q=12">http://example.com/q=12</a> &12grt key=value;<>+,.()!*<br><br>is converted to <br><br><a href="http://example.com/q=12%20&12grt%20key=value;%3C%3E+,.()!*">http://example.com/q=12%20&12grt%20key=value;%3C%3E+,.()!*</a><br>

Hi,<br>
<br><div class="im">
I am not creating the URL, but I parse the URL from XML content and I<br>
want to urlencode it. Also, I am looking to preserve all the reserved<br>
characters in the URL and not just '?' or '&'.<br>
