Well I am not JavaScript expert. What exactly does the escape() do? If you mean an escape character, that is the \ in Java. So \" forces a literal double quote. If you are just trying to work with hex in java then prefacing the hex value with 0x makes it hex. 0x12 = 18 dec

Hi Cindy, Thank you very much for your response. My problem is, I have to invoke the NetscapeMessenger at client side and i have to pass the form data to Netscape messenger fields like CC,TO,BODY,.... for this reason i used MAILTO:// approach. Suppose if i pass multible lines to Messenger body field,it is displaying total data in single line, suppose if we use javascript escape() function, it will convert newlinecharacters,spaces,.....into hex code and pass that data to Messenger. I want the same functionality using java,is it possible? Thankx in advanch. Reply will be greatly appreciate. ravi

There's a class in java.net URLEncoder.encode( myString ); That will do the same thing as escape in javascript
