How can I decode a URL with jQuery?

How can I decode a URL using jQuery? My url is

http%3A%2F%2Fdtzhqpwfdzscm.cloudfront.net%2F4ca06373624db.jpg


Try the decodeURIComponent function:

var decodedUri = decodeURIComponent('http%3A%2F%2Fdtzhqpwfdzscm.cloudfront.net%2F4ca06373624db.jpg');
alert(decodedUri);

Use decodeURIComponent(), for example:

decodeURIComponent("http%3A%2F%2Fdtzhqpwfdzscm.cloudfront.net%2F4ca06373624db.jpg")

It's not jQuery specific, this is a base JavaScript function.


You can simply call the standard javascript functions for encoding and decoding respectively.

encodeURIComponent
decodeURIComponent

Enjoy!
