asp_web_howto thread: chat room question too


Message #1 by "Jimmy Ho" <jimmyyl@h...> on Wed, 12 Dec 2001 17:22:09 +0800
I have created a simple chat room that just put whatever the user type on

the display.

I cannot stop the users from typing html code.

How can I stop them from typing html code without deleting any character?

e.g

If they type <p>abc</p>,

I wish the display frame will show <p>abc</p> exactly, but without the

effect of openning a new paragraph.

Thanx

Try surrounding the text included within your TEXTAREA box in either <XMP>

</XMP> or <PRE> </PRE> tags.  This will decode your HTML and show all markup

with the content.



HTH,

Jason

Will it work if I change all the input text to be unicode?

And how to do it?

Thanx

Probably not...that might just be the format the text is in itself.  By its

nature, data entered in a Web form is in ASCII, so to get it in Unicode, you

could do something in XML...but it would be more work in the end.



Try it out...take this HTML source and view it between <XMP></XMP> tags:



<html><body>

<xmp>

<html><body>

<h1><font face="Tahoma">This is my name in <b>bold</b>!</font></h1>

<br><br>

<h3><font face="Verdana">Hello there!</font></h3>

</body</html>

</xmp>

</body></html>

Use the HTMLEncode() method on the string that they input.
