title: how do i pass data with & in jquery ajax request
body: <p>Here is a scenario. when ever i pass following in a ajax request.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$article = $('#article').val();
  $.ajax({
      url:'url.php',
      type:'post',
      data:'article='+$article,
      success : function(response){
          alert(response)
      });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>so if $article will contain following:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>what is &amp; and what is or.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>the script only sends the data what is. not the whole data.</p>
