showtext single-quote or apostrophe issues

I have a php script that generates krpano XML.

When generating tooltip text I have run into an issue.

Here is the relevant script snippet:

$tooltip = "Sam's"

echo " onhover=\"showtext($tooltip,ToolTip);\"\n";

I want Sam's to be the text displayed in the tooltip popup.

However, what happens is…..Output: Sam's,ToolTip

I've tested this further and it is an issue with the single-quote or apostrophe and am pretty sure it needs to be dealt with at the JavaScript level.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,

Try this:

$tooltip = "Sam%27s"

echo " onhover=\"showtext('$tooltip',ToolTip);\"\n";

note the %27 to replace the single quote in your variable...

Zitat von »showtext(text,textstyle*)«

NOTE - to use some special characters like ',' or '<' and '>' they needed to be escape-coded in form %HH, where HH is the hex code of the character.
e.g.: ',' = %2C

and the showtext text parameter between single quotes .... without them, the output is Sam's,ToolTip ....

SAlut.

Thanks!
Took care of this on the PHP side.

Do you know of a full list of characters that need to be escaped in this way?

Hi Sachagriffin,

It works and seems to be a better solution *smile*

Better in what way?
Now we need to figure an easier way of manipulating ampersands (txtadd).. rather than building them as a special parameter.

I mean better because your example avoids the need of the text parameter to be between single quotes. Just that....
By the way this will also work *rolleyes*
