 Topic: Maybe a bug?
Posted: 16 October 2003 at 12:13pm |
I don't know, but this just looks kind of funny.
I created a thread called "Best Forum I've Ever Seen" and when I get email notfaction of new posts, the email reads: "Web Wiz Forums : Best Forum I’ve Ever Seen!" in the subject line. Looks like somehow the ( ' ) got converted to a HTML character.  Strange.
Is there a way to fix this? Or is it something wrong with the mail object and not the script?

It replaces certain characters with the HTML entity equivalent for security reasons.

Oh... ok. Well I didn't search the forum first, because I wasn't sure what you would call that and didn't know what to search on.. But at least I know there's nothing wrong with it.. I didn't expect it to be. This script is one of the best I've seen, and it actually works like it should.

Add this to the decodeString function in the functions_filters.asp file:-
strInputEntry = Replace(strInputEntry, "’", "'", 1, -1, 1)

Does this happen with all non-alpha or non-numeric characters, or only the ( ' ) ?
Is there a way I can prevent them all from displaying like that? Is there a security risk or a bad reason not to?
