Passing encoded url as parameter javascript function

Question

JS fiddle created at https://jsfiddle.net/ankitwasankar/sc50ecyf/ demonstrates, how the url sent as a parameter decode itself inside function. Is it the expected behaviour. Do I need to encode url passed as parameter again inside function. Currently when URL is opened with window.location.href it doesn't contain %26 instead contains &. So on server, HttpServletRequest.getParameterNames() returns two parameters instead of one.

What about split %26 in-between, like:

<a href='javascript:print_me("https://www.google.co.in/search?query=a%2" + "6b=26")'>Click</a>

This prevents the auto-decoding, although it's a little bit hacky.

It worked for me, thanks. Also double encoding the URL parameters solved the problem.
