Flatten a javascript object to pass as querystring

rated 0 times [ 106] [ 7] / answers: 1 / hits: 58760 / 13 Years ago, thu, march 31, 2011, 12:00:00

I have a javascript object that I need to flatten into a string so that I can pass as querystring, how would I do that? i.e:

{ cost: 12345, insertBy: 'testUser' } would become cost=12345&insertBy=testUser

I can't use jQuery AJAX call for this call, I know we can use that and pass the object in as data but not in this case. Using jQuery to flatten to object would be okay though.

Thank you.

You want jQuery.param:

var str = $.param({ cost: 12345, insertBy: 'testUser' });

// cost=12345&insertBy=testUser

Note that this is the function used internally by jQuery to serialize objects passed as the data argument.
