Re: [flexcoders] Re: Escaping textArea HTML to pass back to WebService...

[Daniel Freiman]

I don't think you need to escape anything.  The webservice should encode and decode the string correctly for you.  I'd try it first without editing the data before you spend the effort doing it manually.- Dan

Yeah, I know I can do this but then I lose all the formatting. I wantto send the data back to a DB via a webservice so that I can thenretrieve it in the future. I believe that to do this I need to'escape' some of the characters in the HTML I retrieve from the
textArea. Thinking about it, it may just be the '<' and '>' that Ineed to 'escape' in which case of course it's simple. My initialinstincts were that it might be more involved than that but perhaps not!
