Hi All,

Just started to play with Safecracker since I understand it is replacing the Stand-Alone Entry Form. Had never used it before. It is pretty cool.

I am having one issue. Maybe a stupid mistake. When Safecracker adds the javascript magic at the bottom of the form it writes the url to the javascript with “&” instead of “&” and of course the web server is not happy with that. So it is getting encoded somewhere.

<a href="http://example.com/index.php?ACT=35&ampui=core,widget,mouse,position,draggable,resizable,button,dialog,datepicker&plugin=scrollable,scrollable.navigator,ee_filebrowser,markitup,thickbox&ampv=1298488869">http://example.com/index.php?ACT=35&ui=core,widget,mouse,position,draggable,resizable,button,dialog,datepicker&plugin=scrollable,scrollable.navigator,ee_filebrowser,markitup,thickbox&v=1298488869</a>

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Spicer, the & should, actually, be encoded as *amp; as your example shows. What kind of errors are you getting? Is the Javascript not loading? If so you may also want to check your Firebug/Inspector to see if there are any Javascript errors on the page.

Howdy,

Thanks for the fast reply.

Error: “The URI you submitted has disallowed characters.”

Works just fine when I replace the “amp” with “&”. I think it is getting messed up on the “;” in “&”

Thanks.

Ah, but how did you get to that first screenshot? Did you copy and paste the URL directly from viewing the source?

Firefox/Safari/IE/etc… should all be smart enough to translate the *amp; in the source into an actual & in the URL when they request the file. Is the script not loading into your HTML page?

Thanks Mark,

Spicer Matthews, could you also tell us what version of EE and SC you are using?

Thanks for the help gang. I think I found some sort of bug but I can not recreate it, nor do I remember what version I was on.

So I upgraded to the latest version of chrome and all problems went away. Also, I did not have the problem in other browsers.

Problem solved…...sort of.

Thanks.

Good that it’s working for you again… if you do need to re-open this particular thread, feel free to.
