Hello all, I hope this hasn’t been answered a zillion times already, I've tried everything I know and nothing has worked. The following is the PHP statement and the HTML rendering. The apostrophe is displayed as is and breaks the browser. May be I am wrong but I was under the impression that escaping special characters with one of the these, htmlspecialchars, htmlentities, and addslashes would replace them with encoded (hex?) value so they wont break the browser. But it hasn’t worked that way. I am using charset=iso-8859-1. This is my PHP:
=== This is the PHP === <li> <a href="#" onclick='document.form1.how.value="<?=htmlentities($row['how'])?>"; document.form1.factor.value="<?=addslashes($row['factor'])?>";document.form1 ..submit();'><?= addslashes($row['factor'])?> </a> </li> ====== This is the rendering ======= ====== (note the heart's apostrophe breaks IE and firefox) === <li> <a href="#" onclick='document.form1.how.value="Pulmonary edema is a condition in which fluid accumulates in the lungs, usually because the heart's left ventricle does not pump adequately. In cases of severe pulmonary edema, the symptoms will worsen and include A drop in blood pressure resulting in a thready pulse."; document.form1.factor.value="Pulmonary edema";document.form1.submit();'>Pulmonary edema </a> </li> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
