Encoding URL fails

Hi,

I have a problem encoding a string containing the character '&' and put
it as param in an URL

If I encode A&P the URLEncoder.encode(value) returns A%26P. But if I put
this result string as parameter in an URL, the URL contains A&P. So what
can I do to have the encoded value in the URL?

I am a little bit confused because if I do the same using a string
containing the character '?' everything is fine!

Greetings,
Andreas

hello,
you could make a workaround.
simple useurl =  encodeURL("url") + "&parameter=bla";
