Question

Answer 1

When you change data you have to do a http POST request. Not a GET request. This will automatically solve your problem without having to encode your password.

xmlhttp.open("POST", "/test/ChangePwdAjax.do", true);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlhttp.send("newPass=" + valuePassword);

Answer 2

Use

var url = "/test/ChangePwdAjax.do?newPass="+ encodeURIComponent(valuePassword);

This will encode your valuePassword to a valid URL component which can be passed as a query string in URLs

And on the other side you should use decodeURIComponent to get the value from encoded string

var value = decodeURIComponent(valuePasswordPassed);
