escape&unescape

这两个函数的功能是用来将字符进行编码我反编码（解码），其主要用途在使用cookie时经常用到这两个函数，因为在要对cookie进行写入时，那些特殊字符（符号和汉字）需要进行编码才能写入，所以在读取时就需要用到unescape函数进行解码再显示，下面是一点例子：

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Set a cookie given a name, value and expiration date.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
function setCookie (name, value,len) {
var date = new Date ();
len = len || 86400 * 1000 * 2;
date.setTime (date.getTime() + len * 1000);

document.cookie = name + "= " + escape(value) + "; expires= " + date.toGMTString() + "; path=/ ";
if(document.cookie.length > 1024){
deleteCookie(name);
}
}

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Returns the value of the named cookie.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
function getCookie(name) {
var search;
search = name + "= ";
offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search) ;
if (offset != -1) {
offset += search.length;
end = document.cookie.indexOf( "; ", offset);
if (end == -1)
end = document.cookie.length;
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end));
}
else
return " ";
}
