HTML - Html Escape Characters
Hi,
I try to display my string "as is" in HTML page. I know the solution is escape characters. I know I can use a couple of pairs, like this Code: strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(38), "&")
strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(60), "<")
strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(62), ">")
strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(10), "<br />")
strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(34), """)
strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(160), " ")
which should be pretty easy to understand, just replaces characters with HTML escape characters. How about replacing a tab (chr(11)) with HTML code? Is there any escape character for that? Is there some others that I should add to my code? Similar TutorialsHi All, I have a really irritating problem. I have written some code in HTML, and bits of it use the left square bracket, ( [ ). When I paste it into an online web editor, and upload I go to the site and the code does not work properly. I look at the source code and the web editor automatically changed the left square bracket to the HTML escape character equivalent [. Is there something I can put in the code to stop this from happening? I have no control over the web editor and even if I go into the web editor and replace [ with [, upload and refresh the same issue happens! 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 Greetings, If you access the following website http://www.chrisnieratko.com/ in IE / Firefox, you can view the site perfectly. However, with Chrome / Safari, you can't. You just see a bunch of code with ascii question marks. I know it's missing the doctype declaration, but is it the question marks that make it not visible for those browsers? (Chrome / Safari) When the site's pages are opened in notepad, textpad and notepad++, the question marks aren't there... so how do you eliminate them? Does anybody know of another editor that will view / edit these? Does anybody know if that's even the problem? How did they just appear out of nowhere? Most importantly; How would YOU fix this problem in the easiest way possible? (I'm guessing a certain type of text editor with a search function, then search / eliminate them and re-save the file?) Any help is MUCH appreciated! Thank you so much in advance for your time! Are there special characters like hearts or...whatever that can be done in html. Hi I am relatively new to HTML and ASP and have been asked to help update intranet and website pages for a company who very suddenly found themselves without a web developer. I took pages that are currently on the website and changed the content to show the new press release. Everything works absolutely fine in various browser, various versions of browsers and operating systems. The one thing that worries me is I did not use reserved characters anywhere, where I noticed the previous web developer did. Should I have used them or is it not needed anymore as browsers have changed? Is it may be needed for software used by the visually impaired? Examples of where she used it: New Zealand - I just used New Zealand “ and ” - where I just used " " Any help would be much appreciated! I 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 Hello, I have a web page that is built using components. The footer of the page is a component. When building the page, the footer is added using a glob. In the footer, there is supposed to be a bunch of Korean characters. Currently, they are not displaying properly. When the glob is viewed alone, it is still incorrect. However, if the source is viewed, the Korean characters are correct in the source, but are displaying incorrectly in the page. The charset is already set to UTF-8. What could be the issue here? Hello, I have a site with UTF-8 encoding. The site uses some japanese characters. However some customer complains that they can see only small boxes instead of the japanese characters both with IE and Firefox. It is probably OS related as the problem occurs only on XP machines (at least until now). But not all XP shows the wrong characters only some of them. Any idea what to suggest to the visitors? Thanks in advance! How can I limit the number of characters that will be shown from a field of a DDBB on a td ? Thanks, Ignacio Francisco Penin 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? What is the most simple code that trims text past x characters? I dont need a ...more link or anything, just the trim. 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? Hi I have a HTML with the body part written in Hebrew. A am also using a tool which reads this HTML, but does not understand Hebrew characters. My question: is it possible to convert these Hebrew fonts to something else (like ASCII for instance) to allow my tool to understand these characters and at the same time would allow a browser to understand the content of my HTML, too?
