js form stripslashes function has errors

J

JRough

Somehow when I send the url to the javascript form to get converted to
a post , something adds a %22 to all the parenthesis in my serialized
string unless I escape it. So here is the string escaped. If I allow
the parens to turn into %22 then php can't unserialize it.

file:///Tiger_HD/Library/WebServer/Documents/clientsidepost2.html?q=a:3:{i:0;s:49:\"44502%20Loneoak%2C%20Lancaster%2C%20CA%2C%2093534\";i:1;s:50:\"3537%203rd%20St%2C%20Ridgefield%2C%20WA%2C%2098642\";i:2;s:58:\"931%20Alabama%20St%2C%20san%20francisco%2C%20CA%2C%2094110\";}

So in this conversion js form I need it to strip the slashes but I get
these errors in the console:

the reason I changed it to charset 10646- from I think it was 8059 was
the database encodes utf-16. Can I do it like this?Is that legal?

I made the suggested changes and now the form doesn't post and the
redirect happen to the php page. This worked the way it was submitted
before. Even though I haven't figured out how to do the stripslashes
I still need the form to post. I moved the Get2Post to the body
onload
and now it doesn't post even with the wrong encoding

Parse error.

It is. Any encoding name listed in
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets> is Valid, though not
necessarily supported; better stick to the more common encodings. But
it is only useful if you use what you declare. In any case, the META
element should only be a fallback for non-HTTP-based display.

You should add the necessary public and system identifiers for HTML 4.01 to

I did all your suggestions and the forrm submits. I understand the
string wasn't passed to the stripslashes function. I think I put it
in the body of the get2post function and that was wrong but since the
get2post function happens when the document is loaded I don't know
where to put the stripslashes function. The string which I assume is q
[1] ?? and it the slashes have to be stripped out before the form
loads.
thanks for your corrections

I am going to repost the javaSCFIPT FORm because it got deleted from
google groups . My only question is:
1. is the string to be passed to the stripslashes function q[1]
and
2. Where do I call the stripslashes function since it has to happen
after the get2post function happens and before the page gets loaded.
thanks,

But String.prototype.split() does not return a string value, of course, and
so nothing that can be wrapped into a String instance for the `replace'
property access. Have you even given *any* thought about RTF(ine)FAQ and
RTF(ine)M first, let alone about using a script debugger?

I didn't think this was a problem. There is only one substring q[1]
because there is only 1 key value pair in my string. So as I
understand it, the function splits out the "q" from the long string of
addresses which I will then decode, unserialize & parse in php. So
maybe you aren't getting that or am I missing somthing? It is only
one key value pair. I should be able to call the stripslashses()
function somewhere.

Why did you quote that line from my signature?
I didn't think this was a problem.

But it is.
There is only one substring q[1]

No, there are two (q[0] and q[1]).
because there is only 1 key value pair in my string.

In any case, the return value of String.prototype.split() is not a string
value.
So as I understand it, the function splits out the "q" from the long
string of addresses which I will then decode, unserialize & parse in php.

No, PHP does not even enter into it.
So maybe you aren't getting that

Yeah, maybe *I* am not getting it ... what else are you dreaming of?
or am I missing somthing?

You do.
It is only one key value pair.

And therefore, the result of splitting it along the `=' separator is an
Array instance with two elements. You are passing the reference to the
Array instance to the client-side stripslashes(), a function that
requires a string value for the argument, and expect that to work ...
I should be able to call the stripslashses() function somewhere.

Yes.

You've been already warned about it several times, so it is coming to
an obvious hooliganism. The only accepted form of comment (if such
burning desire to be silly) is: "HTML5 is currently having the Working

it reaches at least Candidate Recommendation status". This is the

Any application of "HTML 5" (pre-REC, let alone pre-CR as it is now) is
_not_ Valid markup. Validity is not solely defined by what the W3C
Validator has to say about it, especially not if the corresponding Validator
feature is clearly marked as experimental.

People applying what is called "HTML 5" now to general purpose Web documents
may very well find themselves in a position in a few years that they have
build their sites on invalid and not working markup as there is any chance
that the current efforts be dropped or considerably modified (as the draft
Specification's "Status of this document" section warns about.)

You should get yourself informed before you parrot further nonsense and even
resort to name-calling to indicate your argumentative helplessness. It will
make you look just a little bit less silly in the end.

That was already also answered, but if you still having troubles:
within the scope of clj/ciwah/civas "valid markup" and "not valid
markup" are used in reference to W3C Validator. No other validators or
helping tools like Tidy-based HTML validators are considered
authoritative. If you want to bring other valid - not valid criteria
then you have to be very clear in stating i) what validation tools/
rules are you referring to and ii) showing that it is your own
particular definition differing from the default one.

But nobody should care about results from an *experimental* validation
service for a language that is neither a standard, nor implemented by
a significant percentage of user agents.
No other validators or
helping tools like Tidy-based HTML validators are considered
authoritative.

By whom and for what?
If you want to bring other valid - not valid criteria
then you have to be very clear in stating i) what validation tools/

Odd you would comment on the lucidity of others.
