Vern

or lets us make it a little more XML-like

clearSrvPgm();
setContent('text/xml');
xmlNode('header');
xmlNode('detail':'':'Your solution: &27; or %27; or %27');
xmlNode('detail':'':'My solution: ''');
xmlEndNode();
echoToClient();
return;

The result:

But lets test it:

RPGLE code ...

clearSrvPgm();
setContent('');
echo('Your solution: &27 ;');
echo('<br>');
echo('My solution: &#39 ;');
echoToClient();
return;

The result:

No Vern,

%27 is the same as &#39

The first is an escaped char the second is an character entity

&27 - same as &#39 - hex and decimal

&apos isn't and HTML entity and should be encoded as&#39

Most browsers does recognize and render&apos but you may experience
problems in javascript

I think this discussion has made a little sense out of something in
one
of our products - I had to HTML-encode things like apostrophes -&apos
did not always work - had to use&27, as I recall.

Now I just saw a site that differentiated HTML-encoding vs
XML-encoding
- the former has only 4 reserved characters, the latter has 5. The 5th
one is&apos - not part of HTML, therefore, not consistently rendered,
IME.

Nice!!

Hi David,


Firstly, the parser should not parse the content of a CDATA block.
That
doesn't mean it wont though. You are at the mercy of the
implementation and
they are not all standard. Anybody who has had to talk to many SOAP
servers
learns this lesson quickly.
See http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_cdata.asp for some details
confirming your belief.
Secondly, when escaping entities yourself there are a few characters
to
watch out for - not just the ampersand (&):
Certain characters are reserved because they form the structure of
the
markup language. they are<>'".
To escape them they are replaced by representations:

< goes to&lt;
goes to&gt;
' goes to&apos;
" goes to&quot;

Because the escaped representations begin with an ampersand (&) that
character is now also reserved! So we have to escape it too:
& goes to&amp;

If you want to escape the characters yourself NEVER escape the
ampersand
last because escaping all the others introduces new ampersands into
the
markup and you want to leave those ones alone.
Finally, why work this out yourself? Use an open source tool to do
this.
Henrik has built a good one, and you can download mine at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmli/files/ They're free and much
used.

Cheers
