Subject: RE: [xsl] Converting &, >, <, ", and other odd-ball characters... From: "Kevin Duffey" <kevin.duffey@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2001 21:24:46 -0800 |
Interesting dilema. For the most part, we are a b2b site that deals with specific clients. Very unlikely this will occur, as far as the non-ascii characters. I guess you could just "omit" them? I am not sure how it would be handled. How do you make a web-based solution work with these characters? thanks. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Mike Brown > Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2001 10:13 AM > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [xsl] Converting &, >, <, ", and other odd-ball > characters... > > > Kevin Duffey wrote: > > Oh yeah..not sure if you know this or not, but a "performance" tip.. > > Yes, I knew there were better ways to do it, and I've done those things > before; I didn't have access to that code though and I just wanted to get > across the general idea, and JSP declarations, in case it was going to be > helpful. > > > Lastly, can you think of any other characters that are a > problem when used > > in input boxes, text areas, or drop-downs that need to be converted? > > " -> " only needs to happen when you're putting the string into an > attribute value that is delimited by double quotes.
