Escape character in javascript?

[chadorbaf]

Hi,
I just want to pass a parameter value with # as parameter
string to a jsp page as follow:
window.open("mypafe.jsp?a=wo#",......)

But on the page i could not receive the number sign (#). So probably like other languages in need to use escape char
for this. I trired like following with no success:
window.open("mypafe.jsp?a=wo\#",......)

Could please help me on this.Thanks.

Please try -

var m2 = escape(m);

alert(m2);
