Post a Comment
Written by m@ on October 29, 2006 – 7:31 pmI’ve been having troubles lately with my comments. Whenever quotes and apostrophes are used, it adds a preceding \ character. This is sometimes common for code that has to distinguish between quotes and apostrophes in the comment, versus the same characters in the code. There are ways to strip this out, but since I am using pre-packaged code, I have to hunt it down. Please write a comment and use an apostrophe and a quote, so I can hunt this bug down. So that way I don’t get a flood of comments before I get a chance to look at the code and fix it, please wait until I reply in a comment before adding the next comment. If you know it, please also include your browser, version number, and your operating system.
Edit: I think I’ve figured it out. It seems to be a combination of code and older versions of Firefox. Everyone should be running the latest version of Firefox for security reasons anyway. Please go ahead and add comments to this post just to make sure anyway. Thanks.

This is my first comment. Please feel free to comment after this one. It’ll be a good starting point. The quote of the day, “If at first you don’t succeed, you are doing something wrong.”

This one’s from Internet Explorer 6.0 on Windows XP. “This site is great!”

I don’t know what’s going on here. Go ahead and make a few comments and list your setup. I’ll try to sort it out. It might be a problem with just a few browsers.

There seems to be a problem with older versions of Firefox. Everyone update your version of Firefox. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/
