this is your once yearly -- giz.. so no need to be confused..

I'll leave you with a Jack Handy deep thought:

Friendship is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the true warmth.

I went into the database, changed them to "& quot ;" (added spaces to avoid turning into a quote). They displayed fine. But, I then got an idea and applied an update to the category management screen and they all went back to doublequotes and were invisible again in the management screen.

I'll go ahead change them back to "& quot ;" in the database for now as to avoid confusing the other admin with blank category fields (like I almost got confused and nearly deleted the "empty" ones, but thought to double-check the database out of paranoia.)

I will discuss with the powers that be the possibility of changing to single quotes though.

Thanks!

if you want to get back what the user typed in and have them NOT have to think "oh yah, it's a quote, so i have to do ".."

you'd just do htmlspecialchars fix (#2)..

:2c:

To type " you have to type "

[edit: wow I got it right the first time ;)]

I got the OK to change them all to single quotes.

with htmlspecialchars no one has to remember to type things as single or double quotes; it'll encode them on its own as it encounters them...

And I think SD just admitted to peeing his pants... I didn't know he was an astranaught...

/me bashes giz over the head with the BUILT IN firefox spell checker..

astranaught ?

you are slowly creating a new language daily

'eh it didn't catch it... the suggestions where just straight bizarre... Besides, you know you love GizSpeach...

of course it didn't catch it, it was laughing too hard

reminds me of a friend i've had for many years. he's prolly one of the most knowledgeable process control guys out there, but when he goes to google and queries.. google just flat out say "huh? wtf do you mean?" (paraphrased of course)
