Strange working

[rockinaway]

I have a form field, and when I enter a " value, the HTML messes up as it tries to escape it. However I haven't set it to escape anywhere :S

 

What could be the problem?

Can we see some code? Or this "messed up HTML"?

Use stripslashes on the server side....

 

 echo stripslashes($_POST['form_field_with_a_quote_in_it']);

I stripped the slashes.. but now it just removes the \ and the " still does it's messing up:

 

<tr>
												<td><span style="font-weight:bold;">Username:</span><br /><span style="font-size:9px;font-weight:none;">Your desired username</span></td>

												<td><input type="text" name="form_username" style="" value="test"=" /></td>
											</tr>

 

If you look the value part.. the value messes up the HTML..

Im a bit confused..are you trying to set the value of the field to test"= ?

 

If so, you can't use the same style quotes inside the value of an attribute as you use to enclose them. When the browser loads this, it just assumes the next double quote it comes to signifies the end of the value attribute. Either enclose it in single quotes:

 

value='test"=' 

 

Or use the HTML character code:

 

value="test"="
