HTML - Hidden Inputs - Special Characters In Value Field?
Hiya,
I can add a hidden like this to my form... Code: <input type="hidden" name="height" value="197cm" /> But what if I want to change 197cm to 6' 5" - i.e., so it contains apostrophes and speech marks... Code: <input type="hidden" name="height" value="6' 5"" /> doesn't work due to the extra speech mark, so how do I solve? Thanks, James Similar TutorialsI have a problem with IE6 and 7 not rendering a special character, the double up arrow, "& u A r r ;" <a rel="nofollow" href="#top">⇑</a> content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> I am using the special character as link text to get the user to the top of a very, very long page with a single click. The character renders properly in FF, OP and SA. To my dismay, I just discovered that IE renders it as a box on top of the link underline. Is there any simple way, css, magic, etc., that I can get this character to render properly? The single up arrow renders, but looks anemic, and I don't want to have "Top" appearing at the end of every paragraph. (I don't want the search engines to think I am stuffing the keyword "Top".) Two single up arrows looks strange. I'm afraid to use an image since I could encounter position problems with different browsers. While suggestions for alternative design solutions are welcome, I am really after a technical a way to use the double up arrow in IE. The page: http://www.iaps.com/list-of-internet...ns-199010.html Thanks I am reading this: Quote: Another important special character you should know about is the & character. If you'd like to have an & in your html content, use the character entity & instead of the & character itself. I don't understand the entire paragraph above, can any give an example of the above or explain in another way please? Hi, I am currently doing some work on our companies website. As part of this we want to add product codes to keywords to improve rankings in Google, however most of our codes include a forward slash (/), e.g. CC/250S. Does anyone know if the forward slash is a valid symbol in the keywords field, or would this make cause problems in the code? Here is my issue: I'm loading an XML that contains special characters (like French characters) and they are not displaying properly. My XML file is encoded in UTF-8. My charset is set to UTF-8 in my HTML document. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> When I take out the charset completely (don't declare character encoding at all), it displays properly?! (Ack!) I want my HTML to validate properly because I'm attempting to write clean XHTML, but this is leaving me a bit confused. Can anyone explain what is happening? Why does it display correctly when I don't specify a charset? Are there special characters like hearts or...whatever that can be done in html. I know all the easy ones like hearts and spades, but i want to do the really cool ones like crowns and clouds for myspace. This site has them: http://www.bigbaer.com/sidebars/entities/ but it only has the numbers and i need the words [ex. it has &1321442; instead of &blahh; ]. And myspace only accepts the word codes so can anyone either tell me how to convert the numbers into letters or give me some help on this?! -The actualy characters i want are stars and crowns I recently transferred my blog from 1and1 to hostgator, and all my apostrophes have been replaced with � How can this be fixed? 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 Ok so i've recently started html. Moving along, I'm reading a book on xhtml and its talking about hidden fields. Now I get the general idea of what it is used for, but how would it be implemented in a website? or at least can someone give me a better explanation than this one paragraph in this book. Also, I'm seeing foo a lot when talking about the name attribute...it came out of nowhere. Why are they naming stuff foo? I want to be able to use radio buttons on my form but I need the selected one to update 2 seperate fields in my database. I am attaching what I have tried, but didn't work. I am new to all of this, so please be gentle HTML Code: <INPUT class="element radio" id=element_5_1 type=radio value=Swee****er Golf and CC=Ub2venue> <input type="hidden" name="Ub2bwsdate" value="10/22/2008"/> <LABEL class=choice for=element_5_1>Oct. 22 6:30p.m. Swee****er Golf and Country Club, Apopka </LABEL> <INPUT class="element radio" id=element_5_2 type=radio value=Swee****er Golf and CC=Ub2venue> <input type="hidden" name="Ub2bwsdate" value="10/23/2008"/> <LABEL class=choice for=element_5_2>Oct. 23 2:30p.m. Swee****er Golf and County Club, Apopka </LABEL> <INPUT class="element radio" id=element_5_3 type=radio value=USBank, KC=Ub2venue> <input type="hidden" name="Ub2bwsdate" value="10/28/2008"/> <LABEL class=choice for=element_5_3>Oct. 28 2:30 p.m. USBank, Kansas City </LABEL> <LABEL class=choice for=element_5_4></LABEL> </SPAN> I need it to update field Ub2venue with the locaion and update the Ub2bwsdate field with the date from the selected one. Any help would be appreciated. Hi all! I'm trying to pass an array as a hidden field from a form in the URL of the browser but it's not working. Can you tell me what is wrong with this...it's my first attempt so be gentle The form HTML is <form name="filter" action="http://www.myurl.com" method="get"> <input type="hidden" name="main_page" value="index" /> <input type="hidden" name="Flt_Grade[]" value="100" /> <select name="filter_id" onchange="this.form.submit()"> <option value="1">Most Popular</option> <option value="2" selected="selected">Price: Low to High</option> <option value="3">Price: High to Low</option> <option value="4">Title</option> <option value="6">Date Added: Newest</option> <option value="7">Date Added: Oldest</option> </select> </form> I would expect, when option 4 in the dropdown is selected the URL to be http://www.myurl.com&main_page=index...00&filter_id=4 Where %5B = [ and %5D = ] But what I actually get is http://www.myurl.com&main_page=index...e=&filter_id=4 The Flt_Grade array is not passed properly. Can this be done so the hidden field is passed in the URL as an array? Thank you! I have a form but a text field and a hidden field don't come in form elements.I am alerting all form elements in a javascript function which is invoked on press of a button and these two form elements don't come. Any idea why that will happen. JS function which alerts the form elements is as follows :- function populateSubmitProfile() { var i =0; alert("Number of forms "+document.forms.length) ; for( i = 0 ; i < document.forms[0].elements.length ; i++) { alert("Name of the elements :"+document.forms[0].elements[i].name) ; } } Hey, I was hoping if someone could help, I have been playing around with File inputs in HTML e.g("browse") I have 3, i would like to be able to search for a file using input "X" and for imputs "Y" and "Z" to auto-change to match "X". How would i go about doing this? Thanks, Dani I'm pretty new to HTML coding, and I think I'm close to getting this correct.

Hey I am a beginner website creator who is having a bit of a problem and I was Hoping that one of you geniuses out there could help me out! I want to create a users database using mySQL for my website but I'm concerned about people hacking into the server and rearranging the data in there how ever they like. My solution to this problem is one encryption, but also limiting what characters can be put into the input fields on the page. I'm aware that there is a way to do this in PHP but because I'm more comfortable coding in HTML I was wondering if there was a way you could do that? Any Help is appreciated ~soundwave~ Ok, so I need something so that others can kinda half-email me (you'll get it later): Code: <form><input type="text" /></form> <form><input type="text" /></form> <img src="submit.jpg" /> So, the idea is that they write their email in the top one, and a short message in the bottom one. This is perfectly fine as it is. I don't want big text-boxes and stuff like that instead, so don't change this part. The submit.jpg is a picture that sais submit (duh..), and I'd like for this button to take this information posted into these forms and post it on another page. In other words, this can be compared to an e-mail webmaster kinda thing, and then I could go to this secret second page, and read it like this: person1@something.com There's a bug in your site. person2@something.com Cool site dude. person3@something.com Wow.. Get it? The layout of site 2 isn't important, as only I will be reading it. Also, the button would have to hide the URL it is posting to, so that others can't just read at the bottom that it will be sent to mysite.com/thispage.html. Can someone please, please, PLEASE try to help me with this??? Hi, I've encountered this problem, and been struggling for few hours. Thing is, I have a form with enctype="multipart/form-data" and 2 inputs with type "file" in it with names RequestForm[doc1] and RequestForm[doc2]. When I submit the form, only the first one of the fields is sent into $_POST. If i comment out the 1st field, then only the second is sent. This thing is just killing me! Could someone help? What might be wrong? And yes, I do need 2 inputs, not 1 multifile input. |
