Answer 1

Joseph,

Direct from W3Schools
"The escape() function was deprecated in JavaScript version 1.5. Use encodeURI() or encodeURIComponent() instead."

"The escape() function encodes a string."

"This function makes a string portable, so it can be transmitted across any network to any computer that supports ASCII characters."
