I had no clue about it - I mean never heard the terms :)
Thank you very much for point to the direction. After some googling, it is
almost working.
Encoding is just fine (using btoa).
When I read it back and want to decode - it's not yet behaving right. I'm
suspecting my javascript is a problem.
There is a bunch of fields which now have encrypted values (class
'EncodedDescriptionField'), and I am trying to use the following to reclaim
the original values:
$(".EncodedDescriptionField").html(atob($(".EncodedDescriptionField").text()));
What am I doing wrong? (It doesn't change the values - they remain as they
are, encrypted)
