how can I escape quotes within a variable's content? I use the following directive to fill an HTML form:
<input type="text" name="frage_text" size="100" value="$frage_text" />
Unfortunately, if $frage_text contains a double quote, the browser will stop displaying the string at that point.
I tried to escape the quotes in a Perl way
$frage_text =~ s/"/\\"/g;
In HTML characters are 'escaped' by converting them to entities. &entityName; Quote marks are "
You probably want to use escapeHTML() from the CGI module.
