how do i pass data with & in jquery ajax request
<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>
