Re: escaping text?? is it non-latin support question?
Actually, I have spotted what was screwing everything up. If I have a
double-quotation mark (") in the textarea, then the text will not get
processed properly on the server when I do a getParameter("news") I save the
result into a String called 'news' and then attempt to insert the result
into a mySQL DB by some line of code, namely:
stmt.executeQuery("INSERT INTO news VALUES(\"" +
(String)session.getAttribute("login") + "\",NOW(),\"" +
news.toString() + "\");");
[inserts the username, date, and text from the submitted textarea]
Nothing will get inserted into the mySQL DB if the textarea contained as
much as a _single_ double quotation mark. If I want to use double-quotation
marks I have to escape it in the text area like so:
this is a quotation mark \"
I was wondering why this is.

It is not very clear what you mean here, Ryan
I was wondering what would be the best way to do this.
I could escape the text on submission through javascript
but what about people using lynx?
what is the trouble?
as far as i understand, IE and NS when it is needed
escape chars by themselves.. i don't remember
if the posted input fields are %-ed, but anyway IE/NS work
in sync with Tomcat request.getParameter(), either both
%-it, or both don't. Donno what lynx does.
I also don't want to have to write my own escape function in java.
Well, there's already
static java.net.URLEncoder.encode(String s);
- o -
Maybe this question is about NLS and in particular about
non-latin1 encodings support? Then this is a wired question.

Does anybody know, has there been any progress with this in Servlet 2.3
spec?
