the html dialogs

[parcley]

it would be really cool it each of the dialogs to insert various bits of HTML (ie forms, tables, images, hyperlinks, etc.) had a check box that, if checked, automatically escaped all the double quotes ("). so the out put could be

Code: Select all

a href=\"blah.com\" title=\"title\">asdf</a>

or

Code: Select all

a href="blah.com" title="title">asdf</a>

depending on that option being selected or not...

this would be really useful for putting HTML in to php echo statements and the like...

just an idea.


ps - so i just posted it and the html got stripped - i'll try again

hey, that's a cool idea.

I use selective find and replace for this now but it seems like something most of us have to do regularly enough that perhaps it will be added to the ever growing list...

This feature already exists - well, half of it.
Script -> PHP -> Convert HTML to PHP

So, after inserting your HTML, highlight it again and click the 'CHtP' menu option, or the button in the PHP toolbar.

oh snap! That's awesome. sooo many features, so little time...

[parcley]

yeah that sorta works...

i've actually changed my mind though i think a better implementation on this is to have a button, all it's own that simply escapes the highlighted text.

right now the 'convert' button/feature uses the echo/print statement.

i think we need a button that simply escapes the string. maybe the 'convert' button has a third option so that the user can choose echo, print, or none and the none is where the string is simply escaped....
