The forum sig field, and it's screwups.

So, is it only me, or any time you put any sort of html in the field, especially html with quotation marks, does it completely butcher the field info? I mean, it stores it into the database properly, but it cuts off everything after the quote whenever it recalls it, making editing it a process of redoing the whole thing... Am I the only one that happens to?

I've done data-driven web design, and this is something that I've found somewhat unavoidable. If I understand what you're talking about, your saying that when you go back to edit something, it only shows the contents of that form up to a certain point, right?

The thing is, the html for writing the form requires using quotes to be generated & populated with info. So if your information contained quotes, when the html loads, it will end up thinking it's reached the end of the tag when it gets to your quote, rather than the quote generated for the form.

You might be able to avoid the issue if you use single quotes ' not " for your code or vice versa, depending on how you had coded it before.

Does that make any sense (I'm tired so I can't tell any more).

Perhaps try using tinyurl to make a shortcut to the url with the quotes?
