Encode URLs to ISO-8859..?

Question

Hi..

I am trying to open a Google Maps URL from 4 filled variables via a form in Acrobat.

I am using this Javascript code:

var Adresse = getField("Adresse").value;

var Nr = getField("Nr").value;

var Postnr = getField("Postnr").value;

var By = getField("By").value;

var myURL = "http://www.google.dk/maps/place/"+Adresse+"+"+Nr+"+"+Postnr+"+"+By;

app.launchURL(myURL, true);

But when having ”æ”, ”ø” and ”å” in the variables, the output URL is not correct. This is my output:

when typing these variables:

So I need somehow to encode the URL to ISO-8859...or other encoding? so the characters "æ", "ø" and "å" are used correctly...

Is that possible?

Remove all of the "replace" commands you added. They should not be necessary after the encodeURI command.

Also, you don't need a function for this, just add this line before the launchURL command:

myURL = encodeURI(myURL);

Try JS's global encodeURI method.
