[BREAK] converts Backslash

[AndreasBoehmer]

I just noticed that if I display Text in BREAK-Format on my website, all '' in the records are being eliminated. They just aren't displayed on screen!

But I want the Backslash to be displayed.

Is there any way to get around this?

A few more details will help:

Instant or custom web publishing?

Is the host machine a Mac or Windows?

Is the browser a Mac or Windows?

Ah, I see why it happens, but i don't know how to change it!

I forgot that I am running the entry through a javascript before putting it out to the screen. This must be where the backslash is being eliminated. If I enter two backslashes after eachother, one of them is being displayed.

I am afraid of the answer, but do I see it right that, if I want to keep running the article through javascript, I will have to replace every "" with ""?

Andreas,

You can try the Javascript without the escape and unescape functions. I think they may now be redundant with the improved search pattern.

I just tried it with my version of the url replacement script, and it seemed to work fine.

Worth a go.

Hi Garry,

I have tried that, but it doesn't seem to change anything.

What I did was take every "escape" and "unescape" out of the script.

We do have the same code, don't we?

Whoops, I was testing with "/" not "". Back to the drawing-board.
