Greetings!

I hope I can explain this clearly…

Using oecgi. I create an html page in a Basic+ script and hand it back with

Return response

Response contains my script. Just before the return, I write out 'response' to an OS file, so I can see exactly what oecgi is getting.

When the page is rendered, I look at view source with my browser and compare.

The problem is that I have statements with ' between "" and they do not get rendered correctly. In a specific example, I have a ' in a string which is normally closed by a " but the " does not appear in the html source. There is another ' which does appear and the HTML statement is therefore incorrect so the indended html function does not work.

Anyone had this kind of problem?

I don't want to display on the screen, it is a string that is part of an action that occurs when the user clicks a displayed button. Namely, it The song title is created programically from the database, and there should be a " after .mp3 and then the ]. And, that is what is shown in the string as it is written out to a text file before it is sent to oecgi. This all works fine if there are no ' in the song title. I'm beginning to think I need to learn more about urlencoding... arcs@arcscustomsoftware.com [url=http://www.arcscustomsoftware.com]ARCS, Inc.

You have a lone ' inside a pair of "-s inside a pair of '-s. I don't think you can blame oecgi.exe. I made a similar example and tested in IE6, without any OI involved. It doesn't work. I did some more experiments. I think you need to get rid of that ' in the file name. Try %27 instead. (27 is the hex value of '.) Do similarly with other problematic characters. I'd expect " to cause the same problem. If this don't work hang on to the %27, or some other suitable encoding, and change your php script (MP3_play.php) to accept the new syntax. That shouldn't be too difficult. - Oystein - </QUOTE> ---- === At 26 NOV 2004 04:41AM [url=http://www.sprezzatura.com]The Sprezzatura Group wrote: ===

Paxton,

As you're effectively calling a scripting function you need to use JavaScript encoding so swap out the "'" with "\x27" like so:

Thanks, everybody.

Pretty much figured that is what had to be done, nice to have confirmation. Always learning, that is what is so fun!!

I appreciate everyone's detailed explainations.
