>>If you want to include, say, a copyright symbol in a submit button, how would you do that without using the appropriate character entity in the VALUE attribute of the button?
Then I will use an HTML string, since I know the value is to be finally used and displayed as an HTML string. But if I pass an URL address in an HREF attribute, the address is supposed to be used as in an HTTP request so I will format it as an HTTP request, not an HTML text. so I don't see why (and neither HTML does) I should encode the string as an HTML string. If you put some HTML in an attribute, it must be in function of what the string will be used at its final destination, not by principle. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
