How to pass HTML code in query string

Question

I need to pass html code with QueryString because im using ajax method to send post(i mean comment not the type of method) on my web site. When I write a post like that.

"Hi everybody<br />Whats'up."

its just taking "Hi everybody" removing rest of the content.

Info : Im using GET Method

POST semantics doesn't pass parameters on query string. so this question is somewhat confusing. — Scott Evernden

You can get some value back also with POST. The question to ask yourself when choosing between GET and POST is: does the query changes the state of the server? — dolmen

Don't use escape, it's a deprecated function. Use encodeURIComponent instead:

encodeURIComponent("Hi everybody<br />Whats'up.");

Also, don't forget about Internet Explorer's 2,083 character limit in the address bar, you should use POST instead of GET if you want to avoid it.

What method are you using - GET or POST? You should be using POST. That will allow you to send full html and you don't need to use the querystring.

+1 I see no reason for a downvote here. Suggesting POST is perfectly reasonable and moreover a preferred solution.

@Anurag: I didn't downvote, but this isn't an answer to the question and it should be a comment. Moreover, even if the OP had taken this advice the problem still stands - POST data still needs URL encoding.
