HTML - Url Encoding In Forms
Hi,
I'm using JavaScript to write out an html form (you can ignore the JS and just look at the html form). I'm trying to build a URL in the form using hidden inputs. Everything works fine, except when the user hits the run button the '%' signs get turned into '%25'... so the URL looks something like: Code: http://sampleformaction.com/query?CMD_1=%2526CMD%253Dname_of_command%2526field_1%253Dvalue_1%2526field_2%253Dvalue_2&CMD_2= .... I've tried changing my percent signs in the value tag to %25, but then I just end up with %252526... Any ideas? Thanks Code: link_html += "<input type='hidden' name='CMD_1' value='%26CMD%3Dname_of_command%26field_1%3Dvalue_1%26field_2%3Dvalue_2' />";
link_html += "<input type='submit' value='Run' />";
link_html += "</form>";
document.getElementById('report_links').innerHTML = link_html;
Similar Tutorialswhen a webserver sends response to a request, what kind of default encoding does it use ? I read following lines in one article. What does it mean by similar content-type ? similar to what ? "For a web page, the original idea was that the web server would return a similar Content-Type http header along with the web page itself -- not in the HTML itself, but as one of the response headers that are sent before the HTML page" thanks Hi gang! i have had limited exposure to different page encodings.. the two most popular encodings i have seen around a utf-8 iso-8859-1 what's the primary difference between the two? i noticed that Google largly uses utf-8 i tried searching through w3c and on google and i know it's probably me but where could i find a good explaination of the pros and cons of both of these? for example, is it better to use iso-8859-1 when designing a file transfer mechanism and utf-8 for general page language proper translation via various online website translators like Google's In a html file I found, it had & # 8 2 0 6 ; (The above but without whitespace in it.) Does anyone know which character this is for? hi ! I need help with chars encoding on some project in source with encoding "Windows-1251" I have line Code: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1251" /> but when I or someone other visit site encoding is UTF-8 and he can't read Cyrillic chars any help will be good for me I have been creating a job description page and i copied it from a word document and editted it but for some reason im getting the euro and trademark in their when there is no character encoding for it, i have linked the web page below also the scrollbar doesnt scrolldown www.cleverblobs.co.uk/jobdesc.html I am stumped finding the right decoder for this. For example, a string like "farmer's" obviously wiould decode to "farmer's". I can't figure out what this type of encoding is called. I'm trying to find the right decoder for it. (Searching on punctuation symbols doesn't work too well for me.) When I put it between html tags, it shows up with the coding, so my browser isn't decoding it. Can someone steer me in the right direction? Thanks Aloha! I have created my site with a resolution of 1280 x 800. Now I understand a bit more about resolution. In order to create my site with a lower resolution, do I merely change my computer's resolution by going to the control panel, and then composing my entire site again? What is the best resolution in which to create it? I also have a question about encoding. When one save's the html. document, how does one know which of the options in which to save it? Thank you for your help. http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...ss =1&group=0 Under "Potential Issues", I have no idea what that means, how can I fix it? (Source is shown at link) Hi, This is a strange problem. I have a small personal website written in UTF-8, which I have indicated with the Content-Type tag in the head, as you may verify. Nontheless, Firefox (at least, haven't tried any other browser) misinterprets and renders the page in ISO-8859-1, leading to the misrendered characters under item 5 under "Documents". As Firefox's "page info" dialog tells me, the Content-Type tag is recognized but the encoding is still ISO-8859-1. Viewing the page locally works fine, same with every other server I have tried. Why? Can this sort of setting be overridden by the server? I'm using Amaya to write some really simple HTML. If I insert any characters in the range 128-255 (e.g. the degree symbol, 176, or non-breaking space, 160) then instead of embedding ' ' or '°' into the document it actually puts in the byte sequence 0 194 0 176 (degree symbol) or 0 194 0 160 (non-breaking space). In hex these sequences look like 00 C2 00 B0 or 00 C2 00 A0. So it appears that 194 (xC2) is some kind of escape character. However I can find no documentation anywhere which mentions that this is valid HTML - can anyone point me at some? Mike I am srahasan. I have faced some problem with manually change the encoding of the HTML files to US or Western ASCII. pls any one help me about this matter. thnx in advance. srahsan I need help with a form that allows the user to enter and submit the information, and then that information that they enter is automatically dislplayed below on the same page, after they hit the submit button. Here is the code I have. Here is the html code (comment.html) <html> <body> <form action="post.php" method="post"> First Name: <input type ="text" name="firstname"/>   Last Name: <input type ="text" name="lastname"/> <br/> <br/><dd/> Comments orSuggestions: <br/><dd/> <textarea name="comment" rows="10" cols="50"></textarea> </textarea> </form> </body> </html> Here is the php code (post.php) <?php $firstname=$_GET['firstname']; $lastname=$_GET['lastname']; $comment=$_GET['comment']; echo $firstname; echo "&4nbsp; $lastname"; echo ":"; echo " $comment"; ?> I do not want the the info when submitted to be displayed on the php page, I want it displayed on the html page where it was submitted, I was told I needed a php page to do that, but I cannot get it to work. I need to do a form submission that assigns values to radio buttons. Basically its a subjective hearing test, like this one. http://www.entnet.org/healthinfo/hea...aring_test.cfm My question is I don't know how to setup the form at the point of submission, so it returns the proper response, dependent on the selected buttons(or score)? Does anyone have a clue? Thanks in advance...
