You can create an object of key/value pairs and jQuery will do the rest for you:
$.ajax({
...
data : { foo : 'bar', bar : 'foo' },
...
});
This way the data will be properly encoded automatically. If you do want to concoct you own string then make sure to use encodeURIComponent()
: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/encodeURIComponent
Your current code is not working because the string is not concocted properly:
'id='+ id & 'name="+ name
should be:
"id='+ encodeURIComponent(id) + '&name="+ encodeURIComponent(name)
