I am working in a template in Moveable Type and would like to do the following:
Twitter
It all works but I'm worried that the current link or at some point even if I use a title mt tag that it might not be right for the browser address bar. I thought you could use encode_url="1" but it doesn't appear to encode my titles or links. For example: I have a title with spaces in it and the resulting code still has the spaces in it. Also for the example above shouldn't the http:// be encoded in a special way? Because it doesn't do it.
Am I doing something wrong here?
I just checked this code and it is outputting properly for me. I am using MT 4.34. I used the following template code in an index templated:
<mt:Var name="url" value="http://google.com/hello I have spaces">
<mt:Entries lastn="1">
Permalink: <mt:EntryPermalink encode_url="1"><br />
Fake URL: <mt:Var name="url" encode_url="1">
</mt:Entries>
And I got the following output:
Permalink: http%3A%2F%2Fwww.capndesign.com%2Farchives%2F2010%2F09%2Fthe_big_picture_scenes_from_china.php
Fake URL: http%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com%2Fhello%20I%20have%20spaces
So I would confirm that you're using a current version of MT (4.34 or 5.x) that supports this modifier, because the spaces and special characters should definitely be getting replaced with HTML entities. I'd also try the code I provided above to see if you get the same output (except your permalink will obviously be different).

In my mark-up I want to add a space ( ) between elements without always having to use CSS to do so. If I put in my markup, GWT throws errors. Is there a way around it?
For example:
<g:Label>One </g:Label><g:Label>Two</g:Label>
Should show:
One Two
And not:
OneTwo
As documented here, you just have to add this to the top of your XML file and it will work!
<!DOCTYPE ui:UiBinder SYSTEM "http://dl.google.com/gwt/DTD/xhtml.ent">
Note that the GWT compiler won't actually visit this URL to fetch the file, because a copy of it is baked into the compiler. However, your IDE may fetch it.
Rather than use a Label, which to me shouldn't allow character entities at all, I use an HTML widget. In order to set the content, though, I find I have to do it as the HTML attribute, not the body content (note that the uppercase HTML is important here, since the set method is setHTML, not setHtml)
<g:HTML HTML="One " />
So, I've been asking a lot of Xpath questions recently.
Sorry, but I've only just started using it, and I'm working on a kind of hard project.
You see, at the moment I'm parsing HTML like this (not a copy and paste, just an example):
<span id="no153434"></span>
<blockquote>Text here.<br/>More text.<br/>Some more text.</blockquote>
And I'm using
//span[starts-with(#id, 'no')]/following::*[1][name()='blockquote']//node()
To get the text inside.
It's working fine, although it's very frustrating. I need to manually check for then manually combine the strings before and after the br, add a newline, and so on. But it stills works. Until there is a link in the text, that is. Then the code is like this:
<span id="no153434"></span>
<blockquote>Text here.<br/>Text.<br/><font class = "unkfunc">linkhere</font></blockquote>
I have absolutely NO idea where to go from here, as the link is included as a completely seperate item (twice) in the array. Atleast with the br I knew where it had to be moved to. Really contemplating giving up in this project after all this effort.
You can use this XPath to obtain text inside element: //span[starts-with(#id, 'no')]/following::*[1][name()='blockquote']//text()
So you receive following result:
Text here.
Text.
linkhere
If you want only text nodes and br:
//span
[starts-with(#id, 'no')]/
following::*[1][name()='blockquote']
//node()
[ count(.|..//text()) = count(..//text())
or
name()='br'
]
returns
Text here.
<br />
Text.
<br />
linkhere
The answer is to not use XPath for this kind of work.
Got it working 1,000,000x easier with Objective-C-HTML-Parser.
I have a JSP page in which I have JavaScript function that will be called when a link is clicked. Now, when the value reaches the JavaScript function, the apostrophe is encoded.
Example:
Name#039;s
Before # there is &, which originally should be:
Name's
I have used the unescape() decode function, but nothing seems to work. In the end, I had to delete the characters and add the apostrophe. Does anyone know a fix for this? Is it that JSP doesn't support encoding for &? When I was writing the same encode value in this page, it changed the symbol to the apostrophe, which is what I wanted in my code.
Built-in Javascript function such as unescape(), decodeURIComponent() has nothing to do with the string you are working on, because the one you are looking to decode are HTML entites.
There are no HTML entites decoder available in Javascript, but since you are working with a browser, if the string is considered safe, you may do the following (in JQuery, for example)
var str = $('<p />').html(str).text();
It bascially insert the string as HTML to a <p> element and then extract the text within.
Edit: I just realize the JSP output you posted is not real HTML entities; To process the example given you should use the following, add & before every #1234; and make it Ӓ:
var str = $('<p />').html(str.replace(/\#(\d+)\;/g '&#$1;')).text();
I do an HTTP GET request for a page using the following URL in Safari:
mysite.com/page.aspx?param=v%e5r
The page contains a form which posts back to itself.
The HTML form tag looks like this when output by asp.net:
<form method="post" action="page.aspx?param=v%u00e5r" id="aspnetForm" >
When Safari POSTs this back it somehow converts this URL to:
page.aspx?param=v%25u00e5r, i.e. it URL encodes the already URL encoded string, which is then double encoded and the output generated by this parameter is garbled (vår). I am able to get around this some places by URL decoding the parameter before printing it.
Firefox and even IE8 handles this fine. Is this a bug in WebKit or am I doing something wrong?
To summarise:
GET mysite.com/page.aspx?param=v%e5r
HTML: <form method="post" action="page.aspx?param=v%u00e5r" id="aspnetForm" >
POST mysite.com/page.aspx?param=v%25u00e5r
HTML: <form method="post" action="page.aspx?param=v%25u00e5r" id="aspnetForm" >
mysite.com/page.aspx?param=v%e5r
Whilst you can use encodings other than UTF-8 in the query part of a URL, it's inadvisable and will generally confuse a variety of scripts that assume UTF-8.
You really want to be producing forms in pages marked as being UTF-8, then accepting UTF-8 in your application and encoding the string vår (assuming that's what you mean) as param=v%C3%A5r.
page.aspx?param=v%u00e5r
Oh dear! That's very much wrong. %uXXXX is a JavaScript-escape()-style sequence only; it is wholly invalid to put in a URL. Safari is presumably trying to fix up the mistake by encoding the % that isn't followed by a two-digit hex sequence with a %25.
Is ASP.NET generating this? If so, that's highly disappointing. How are you creating the <form> tag? If you're encoding the parameter manually, maybe you need to specify an Encoding argument to HttpUtility.UrlEncode? ie. an Encoding.UTF8, or, if you really must have v%e5r, new Encoding(1252) (Windows code page 1252, Western European).
I am new to iphone development.I want to ignore CDATA tag while parsing because it consider the HTML tag following it as text.Since i want to display the content alone ,i want my parser to ignore CDATA tag.My source code is
[CDATA[<br /><p class="author"><span class="by">By: </span>By Sydney Ember</p><br><p>In the week since an </p>]].
Is there any way to ignore CDATA tag?
Is there any way to parse my source twice so it displays only the content?
Please give me some sample code.Please help me out.Thanks.
If you treat the CDATA content as XML instead of CDATA then your parser will throw an error (since your HTML is a weird mix of XHTML and HTML and is not well formed).
If you want to get the HTML, then parse the XML, extract the text content of the node, then parse that text as HTML.
There is no way to ignore the CDATA tag - it's part of the xml spec and parsers should honour it.
If you don't like the idea of this answer to your earlier question, you could get the contents of the CDATA section and parse it as XML again. However, this is highly not recommended! You don't know that the contents of the CDATA are going to be valid xml (they're probably not).
If you can 100% guarentee that the CDATA section contains the form you have above, you could probably use some string manipulation to get the data out (i.e. string replace '<span class="by">By: </span>' with '') but again, this will almost certainly break if the CDATA contents change.
Where is the xml coming from? It's a better idea to talk to owner of the service and get them to send you instead of description something like
