Oops, I still don't know how to achieve it. Here is why: This is from the javascript code on the page:
var description = $(this).text(); var url='{{=URL('cart','description'),args=[id],vars=[dict(description=description)]}}'; So, the variable description belongs to javascript, and it's presumably impossible to access it in {{...}} sections, unless I am missing something. Any code in {{...}} is executed and built on the server side, and then delivered to the browser, so while on the server, those javascript variables are inaccessible. OR is there a way to somehow access them???? Of this is this case, then I am stuck to having var url='{{=URL('cart','description')}} and then url += description, hence I now have to use encoding/decoding solution... Is there a way to solve this without encoding / decoding???
