[Zope-dev] interesting html_quote puzzle

[Sam Gendler]

I have a form field on a page that is the first page in a multi page
wizard.  This means that the values from the first page must be embedded
in the subsequent pages as hidden fields.

How can I deal with someone putting a double quote (") in a text box. 
When I put the hidden field in the page the value="<dtml-var field>"
seciton winds up with extra quote marks, wreaking havoc with the
browser.  If I html quote or url quote the value of a hidden field, the
browser does not un-quote it before quoting it again for transmission. 
This ileaves me with a permanently quoted value, which is unacceptable
for reasons that I won't go into right now.

Any thoughts?
