I am retrieving some text from an RDB to display on a page. My problem, a browser error, occurs when there is an apostrophe ['] character in the text returned from the database. My first instinct was to use the html_quote attribute for the var tag, but that does not work for an apostrophe character. Here is an example:

text returned from database = "Test' test test"

<dtml-var dbText html_quote>

This still produces the ' character in the html. Am I missing something? Does html_quote handle this character?

It's perfectly legal to have an apostrophe in html. Your problem must lie somewhere else, you're probably using your variable in a context where an apostrophe is forbidden, like a javascript or a badly-quoted url. We need more info. What's the context where the browser complains? Florent -- Florent Guillaume, Nuxeo (Paris, France) +33 1 40 33 79 87 http://nuxeo.com mailto:fg@nuxeo.com
