    [CLOSED] [1.0] TextField and HtmlEncode

    Hi,

    I use TextField and I prepare data (string) for it on the server side in an Ajax event. I encode the string using HttpUtility.HtmlEncode. Then, on the client side, I just set use the setValue() method on the TextField to set the string. This works fine for e.g. < and > tags, but not for the single quote character. HttpUtility encodes it as &#39; and TextField displays it exacatly as &#39; instead of the single quote character. Is there a way around this?

    Regards,
    Tadeusz

    Hi,

    Can you provide test sample which demonstrates the scenario?

    I think your're getting some double encoding. I tried to reproduce, but was unable.

    Please post a code sample, and/or modify the following to demonstrate the problem.

    Example

    <%@ Page Language="C#" ValidateRequest="false" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Ext.Net" Namespace="Ext.Net" TagPrefix="ext" %>
 
<script runat="server">
    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, DirectEventArgs e)
    {
        this.Label1.Text = this.TextField1.Text;

        this.TextField1.Text = "<happy> world's </happy>";
    }
</script>

        <ext:Button runat="server" Text="Submit" OnDirectClick="Button1_Click" />
        
        <ext:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" />
    </form>

    Apologies for not replying to it earlier - I had my mail notifications turned off by mistake. Anyway, I no longer seem to have this problem.
