What do you expect on input, output, why, and what you get in fact?

This throws "malformed URI sequence" exception. I don't know what string do you mean, but it wasn't probably created by encodeURI. To know what is well-formed sequence, please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding[^].

Alternatively, type the exact string you need and pass it as a parameter to encodeURI, to see what should you have on input of decodeURI. Please see:
