02 Mar 99 - 07:03 AM (#61004) Subject: RE: Quotes in From: MudGuard I think the best way to handle this problem would be to automatically remove them at the time of posting, or replace double quotes (") with single quotes ('). But this would mean a change of the code for creating threads and posting to threads which I can't do, and I don't want to burden someone else with it... It does not help to replace the " with " because when someone copy-pastes the result they will have " in the copied text, not ". cu, Andreas

02 Mar 99 - 07:29 AM (#61006) Subject: RE: Quotes in From: MudGuard At least they appear in the new-messages page My guess is that the problem comes from " being the delimiter of the address of the hyperlink. So the browser does not know whether the " is to be displayed or to be interpreted as the end of the address (and ignore all the rest till the > character). As single quotes (') are not defined as delimiters for the address (single quotes are no special html characters at all, so they should not make any trouble), they don't interfere with the interpretation of the string in the browser Just to distinguish between quotes and apostrophe, it would be better to replace double quotes (") by two single quotes (''), e.g. LyrReq: ''I don't know'' Andreas |
