Using a URL Escaper in Cross-browser Testing
A URL escaper is super useful if you're doing cross-browser testing. For example, if you're using URLs in tests, then as they contain special characters, they often must be first URL-encoded so that aren't misinterpreted. If you pass a URL as an argument to another URL, then various characters (such as ampersand or question mark) may get treated as a part of the first original URL and not as an argument to the URL. If you escape your URL, then this problem goes away. Also, if the URL contains a space, it can't be clicked (as it's broken into two parts), so this space has to be replaced by the "%20" URL-escape sequence that is equivalent to a space.
