Built-in Functions--unescape
This page uses a built-in function, unescape(form.txtCharacter.value), to return a character from an ASCII encoding value in the ISO Latin-1 character set. Type an ASCII encoding value (such as %3F, %27, and so on) into the text box, then click on the button to see the character it represents:
These are the scripts we used. First, in the HEAD:
<![CDATA[
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function ConvertASCII(form) {
form.txtASCII.value= unescape(form.txtCharacter.value)
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
]]>
Later in the Web page the function is called from this form:
<![CDATA[
<FORM>
Type an ASCII encoding value: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="txtCharacter" SIZE=12><P>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Character" onclick="ConvertASCII(this.form)"> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="txtASCII" SIZE=20>
</FORM>
]]>
