My Application is based on Ajax request/response. I create object of all parameters and make query string using jquery param() method. it works fine but when some parameter contains "&" in it then it does not encode that properly and so server returns error in that case. Can somebody tell me how to create query string in this case when data contains "&" character?
var url = ""
url += "?username='abc'";
url += "&" + $.param(params);
/*
params values are follows:
params[name] = 'test'
params[id] = 1234
params[xyz] = 'entertainment & games'
*/
Also suggest if I have to change something in serverside script to decode this properly

It works for me... I get this:
&name=test&id=1234&xyz=entertainment+%26+games. Can you post a plete code snippet? – Álvaro González Commented Mar 15, 2011 at 10:46

Reset to default 3The jQuery.param() method encodes as expected. This snippet...:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<head><title></title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
jQuery(function($){
var params = {
name: "test",
id: 1234,
xyz: "entertainment & games"
};
var url = ""
url += "&" + $.param(params);
alert(url);
});
//--></script>
</head>
<body>

</html>
... alerts this: &name=test&id=1234&xyz=entertainment+%26+games
You don't say what the error is but it's worth noting that a valid query string should begin with ? rather than &:
var url = ""
url += "?" + $.param(params);
A little consideration:
Probabily that the error was generated by the "'abc'" value for "username" parameter...
url += "?username='abc'";
The correct way should be:
url += "?username=abc";
