Re: Perl CGI-html quotation marks
Hello again,
Apologies for the delay. I shut my laptop in frustration for the night
yesterday.
Here is a chunk of the code:
my $html2 = '/Results.tar.gz
div style=text-align: center;button type=submitDownload
Files/button/div
p style=text-align: center;Click the button below to View your
alignment in JBrowse Viewer/p
input type=button value=Open Window
onclick=window.open(\'
bioinf6.bioc.le.ac.uk/~srpgrp3/JBrowse-1.11.4/index.html?data=http://bioinf6.bioc.le.ac.uk/~srpgrp3/UserFiles
';
my $html4 =
'/datatracks=DNA,transcript_with_no_features,Geneshighlight=\')
/body
/html';
print $html1;
print $directory;
print $html3;
print $directory;
print $html2;
print $directory;
print $html4;
Another person in my group had a look at it today and let me know that I
hadn't closed the button THING with a . Apparently with that it's able
to handle the single quotation marks.
What a fool!
Thanks,
James.

Hello all,
I'm currently using Perl CGI to generate a Results webpage. This
results webpage specifies unique directories generated within the script
and print these in between the blocks of html so various download and
display buttons work.
My problem is that I'm using a button to open a file in a new tab and
the new tab URL uses single quotes and won't work using double or none.
This then messes up the printing of the html in the Perl script.
Can anybody help me? (Example provided below).
input type=button value=Open Window
onclick=window.open('THE URL OF THE FILE I WANT TO OPEN IN A NEW TAB
UPON CLICKING THE BUTTON')
it would be most helpful if you posted your relevant perl code. if you say
it messes up printing html i sense you are not creating your html strings
in the best way.

Here's one way to do it
print BUTTON;

Indeed. One should note that Perl 5 has very good quoting support with its here-documents, interpolation, variable delimiters, and also - templating systems such as Template Toolkit. There's a thread about it on Sayeret Lambda (= an Israeli forum of programming languages’ enthusiasts): * https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sayeret-lambda/oTdS8d0hqoE It sparked an active discussion there. When doing Perl, one should make a wise use of all that.
