Is there a encodeURIComponent or Uri.EscapeDataString in VBScript that can be used in an classic ASP page?
I need this function to generate jQuery parseable XML.
Server.HTMLEncode does not do a complete job.

You can just escape the characters yourself if you would like, according to this link, there are only five: What characters do I need to escape in XML documents?
Therefore, something like this should work:
//usage
EncodedXML = XMLEncode(MyDecodedXML)
//function
Function XMLEncode(str)
XMLEncode = str
If varType(XMLEncode) < 2 Exit Function
XMLEncode = Replace(XMLEncode,Chr(34),""")
XMLEncode = Replace(XMLEncode,"'","'")
XMLEncode = Replace(XMLEncode,"<","<")
XMLEncode = Replace(XMLEncode,">",">")
XMLEncode = Replace(XMLEncode,"&","&")
End Function
Otherwise, this is generally done using the MSXML2.DOMDocument
object in VBS. Documentation is available here. A simple example of its use is ...
sFilePath = "D:\someplace\somefile.xml"
sXPath = "/SomeName/Someproperty"
Set oXMLDoc = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
oXMLDoc.SetProperty "SelectionLanguage", "XPath"
oXMLDoc.Async = False
oXMLDoc.Load sFilePath
If (oXMLDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) Then
Set oErr = oXMLDoc.ParseError
WScript.Echo "Could not load file " & sFilePath _
& " , error: " & oErr.Reason
WScript.Quit
End If
Set objNames = oXMLDoc.DocumentElement.SelectNodes(sXPath)
For Each obj in objNames
with obj
wsh.echo .nodeName, .getAttribute("name")
end with
Next
