Rails spinoffs - May 2008 - script tags won't display in textarea box using ajax request.

hi there,

i have a textarea box that i want to be able to save javascript code
into a database. (which i have no problems doing)

my problem is displaying the javascript code/script tags in my
textarea after retreiving it from my database via ajax request. it
won''t show:

<script>blah blah blah</script>

i know that the js code/script tags are being retreived from the
database because i can inspect ajax repsonse and see the script tags.

i set the evalScripts var to false so that it will not evaluate js
code and still i see nothing in my text area box.

the only thing that will show is any text outside of the script tags.


any help?

Hi,

I think you should convert <script>blah </script>
into
&lt;script &gt; blah &lt;/script&gt;

If you use PHP,  use htmlspecialchars function

example :

<?php
$new = htmlspecialchars("<a
href=''test''>Test</a>", ENT_QUOTES);
echo $new; // &lt;a
href=&#039;test&#039;&gt;Test&lt;/a&gt;
?>


Thanks

YUAN

If you have the script already in your response, then run escapeHTML 
() on it in JavaScript. (Does the same thing as htmlspecialchars() in  
PHP.)
