Hi dlypka,
Not sure I was clear. I need to maintain the escaping.
My point was this: my data was escaped OK in the controller, but when it
arrived in the view, it was not escaped.
Something broke the escaping of single-quotes passing between the two.
Double quotes are a bit of problem too.
We can work around the problem, but I thought there may be a proper
solution.
Best regards,
D
