Hi everyone -
I use LAJAX for a simple discussion board, and noticed a few posts oddly cut
off.
We soon realized that the & symbol will cause your text string to be
truncated at the & when using LAJAX as a get or a post.
If you are using LAJAX, you may want to apply a little fix I hacked together
this morning. I'm sure this could be coded more efficiently, (as I'm not
much of javascript guy) - but this seems to work.
function fix(){
var original=document.formname['formfield'].value;
var fixed=original.replace(/&/g,"and");
document.formname['formfield'].value=fixed;
}
Then, in your lajax call..
onclick="fix();javascript:LAJAX.post(..etc.
This will replace & with and - and will prevent the string from getting
chopped off.
I know I know, I should be using prototype - but if any of you are like me
and using LAJAX, perhaps you may find this useful. - if anything, it may be
good for the archives.
Alex
