Don't use this, it's broken. Any % sign in your text will screw things. 3-4 byte characters are not handled by it at all.

  Care to elaborate? % signs are handled fine - they get encoded into %25 which then gets shortened to a single 'x' character - thus counted as a single byte. Similarly, for example € gets encoded to "%E2%82%AC" which then gets correctly counted as 3 bytes. I'm not quite sure what value of 'broken' you're thinking of? Did you try this and find it didn't work in some particular circumstance?

    I didn't know % gets encoded. So you're right, your code does work : )

      FWIW, Checking code or reading API docs is pretty useful :P firebug works pretty well for testing out code snippets. The internet is full of enough incorrect information regarding javascript as it is, and if you think about it, % has to be encoded, otherwise anything containing a % would be decoded wrongly ;)
