I've been using the &dtml.missing-xyz; format which I thought was html_quote-ed. But maybe not, because it appears to fix it.. I wonder if perhaps it might have been something else.. I'll need to bang on it a bit more.. *Thank you!*
Yes, I know, and I use sqlvar on the final step, but this is a multi-page form and I use hidden form fields to pass the values from the first page to the second.. *then* I save the data to my database on the last step..
But your suggestion makes me realize that perhaps the multi-page form isn't the way to go, since that seems to be where the truncation is occuring..
Haven't tried this myself, but (I suspect) you need to do something like
<input type="hidden" name="somename" value="<dtml-var somevalue html_quote>">
Without good ol' html_quote in there, you get truncated. You might need url_quote, but probably not.
