How to Avoid Special Character Conversion ?

[RobertTG]

Value entered in textarea is: "this "TEST" is not going well"

JS sends to server this value: "this "TEST" is not going well"

How to force JS not to convert the string ? I want JS to send exactly what
is typed in the form controls.
Is there a function to call ?
Thx

yes but inverse convertion would be done automaticaly

How to force JS not to convert the string ?

does it JS who convert the string ?
do :
alert(document.form1.myTextarea.value)
to see
or your browser ?

do you use a doctype on your page
if yes, wich one ?
do you have a meta caractere-encoding ?
wich one ?
try to use a charset-encoding : utf-8

if JS html-entities encodes your string(*), try :
text = unescape(document.form1.myTextarea.value)


(*) I would be very surprised JS converts in html-entities ! ! !

What JS code do you use to send something to the server? And what are
you using on the server to check out the data sent?

Thanks ! you're right !
I cried wolf - turns out it was server-side that performed the escape.
