Hi Railers, For some time now I''ve been looking for a decent Rails equivalent of PHP''s "htmlentities" command, because ERB''s html_escape (or more commonly called as just "h", eg. <%=h @somevariable %> ) just doesn''t go far enough for me. Back in PHP land, I actually had an extended version of the htmlentities command to deal with

Hi, I''m a newcomer to Ruby and to Rails, and am having a problem with character encoding. Now, I know ruby doesn''t handle unicode...but, characters like ? (eacute) and ? (ccedil) are part of the iso-8859-1 charset, so it shouldn''t be a problem, right? But, for some reason, the string functions still seem to hang on those characters. As an example, in a brand new rails

Hello, my application controller defines before_filter :set_charset def set_charset @headers["Content-Type"] = "text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" end Everything is fine and accents are rendered correctly in the browser. However, when I call a controller/action from Ajax (Prototype), the charset is not taken in account and accents are garbage displayed (''?''

Hi. Samba 1.9.15p8 under IRIX 6.1 (yes I know, it's old stuff ...) The susers on Windows 9x/WindowsNT just put their strange file name or directory name (like /usr/people/mesure_?t? ) on the IRIX. However, from the IRIX side, it's impossible toaccess to such files/directory. What's more, my ARkeia backup client stalls on such a name and fouled up my backup database... NB: Oops: for

Hi After having updated some GEMS I get `load_missing_constant'': uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::Cache (NameError) on starting the server of a freshly generated rails project.

Hi, I''m new to this mailing list, so first off, a big THANK YOU for the script.aculo.us and prototype.js libraries. I''m trying to integrate script.aculo.us into an existing pretty large Javascript codebase (see http://openrecord.org). I''m running into a problem with prototype.js and the existing codebase''s use of for/in loops over an Array.

Hi, I have been playing around with the autocomplete field in Rails 0.13. I have noticed that if I have an ampersand in the value such as "A&E", if I click on the entry in the autocomplete list, I am left with just A in the text box. I have narrowed it down to: String.unescapeHtml() in prototype.js as what strips the & and what follows it from the value. It strips it

The recent htmlentities/htmlspecialchars bug was affecting all versions of PHP older than 5.2.0. With that in mind, I was just wondering if there is any timeframe to release a fix in centosplus repository for PHP5 package?

When I use pp on an object in rails, it prints out a nice string representation of the object. I am trying to pass objects from one server to another and I am wondering if I can just pass this string and create an object on the other server. Any libraries/functions out there that can do this? Or any other way to do this (not necessarily using pp). Thanks! -- Posted via
