texte = I'm trying to create escape characters for javascript, so I place a bunch of text inside a convertchars context that uses this db:from to %08 \b %09 \t %0A \n %0C \f %0D \r \ ' \' \ \\Everything looks like it should EXCEPT FOR the double-quote () which should be replaced by (\) but is not. Instead, the backslash simply does not appear in the HTML. Only the double quote character appears, which means it has not been replaced.So it appears that the convertchars context is not working properly in this case.But I managed to make it work by double-escaping the double quote character. In other words, I put TWO backslashes in front of the double quote character, and then the resulting HTML ends up with a SINGLE backslash before the double quote character.Why is this necessary? And why only with the double quote character? Sincerely, Kenneth Grome--------------------------------------------------- WebDNA Professional Training and Development Center 175 J.
