string decodeURI (uri:
string)
Decodes a string created with encodeURI().

string encodeURI (text:
string)
Encodes a string after RFC2396.
Create an UTF-8 ASCII encoded version of this string. The string is converted into UTF-8. Every non-alphanumeric character is encoded as a percent escape
character of the form %xx, where xx is the hex value of the character. After the conversion to UTF-8 encoding and escaping, it is guaranteed that the string does not contain characters codes greater than 127. The list of characters not to be encoded is -_.!~*'();/?:@&=+$,#. The method returns false on errors.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|
| text | string | The text to encode. |
string encodeURIComponent (text:

string escape (aString:
string)
Creates a URL-encoded string from aString.
In the new string, characters of aString that require URL encoding are replaced with the format %xx, where xx is the hexadecimal value of the character code in the Unicode character set. This format is used to transmit information appended to a URL during, for example, execution of the GET method. Use the unescape() global function to translate the string back into its original format. Returns a string which is aString URL-encoded.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|
| aString | string | The string to be encoded.

any eval (stringExpression:
string)
Evaluates its argument as a JavaScript script, and returns the result of evaluation.
You can pass the result of an object's toSource() method to reconstruct that object.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|
| stringExpression | string | The string to evaluate.
|
| Example | eval(stringExpression) |
bool isFinite (expression:
number)
Evaluates an expression and reports whether the result is a finite number.
Returns true if the expression is a finite number, false otherwise. False if the value is infinity or negative infinity.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|
| expression | number | Any valid JavaScript expression.
|
| Example | isFinite(expression) |
bool isNaN (expression:
number)

number parseFloat (text:
string)
Extracts a floating-point number from a string.
Parses a string to find the first set of characters that can be converted to a floating point number, and returns that number, or NaN if it does not encounter characters that it can converted to a number. The function supports exponential notation.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|
| text | string | The string from which to extract a floating point number.
|
| Example | parseFloat(aString) |
number parseInt (text:
string[, base:
number])

Parses a string to find the first set of characters, in a specified base, that can be converted to an integer, and returns that integer, or NaN if it does not encounter characters that it can convert to a number.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|
| text | string | The string from which to extract an integer.
|
| base | number (range: 2 - 36) | The base of the string to parse (from base 2 to base 36).
