Special cases here include the ampersand (&) which should be specified literally as its entity code equivalent, &. Ampersands are used when breaking up URL parameters when sending data from a WAP device to a Web server, for example. If you need access to a dollar symbol ($), use two dollars, e.g. $$ - the first is used to "escape" (remove its significance) from the second. As a rule of thumb, use HTML entity codes when you require any non-alaphanumeric characters.

What you're seeing is most probably not garbage, but the result of a mismatch between the actual encoding of the HTML output and the encoding your browser is expecting. Your browser is misinterpreting the HTML data, which is encoded text.

If you know html, you can use html tags for bold, italics, lists, underline, strike-out, the anchor tag for hyperlinks and special characters like accented letters, etc. in your posts. Imbedding images is not permitted. Because the system scans for html tags, which are designed by the angled brackets < and >, you cannot use these brackets when not specifying html tags (your post will not display correctly).

Whenever a user requests a URL from a web browser or a WAP device, the Web Server attached to the WAP Gateway serving your request will send back a HTTP Header which should include the ability to differentiate the User Agent that is requesting that URL. On this basis, a server-side script can examine this value and then generate WML or HTML, depending on the capabilities of the device.

First of all, we have a on-the-fly bitmap creator here at WAPuSeek.com, which is available from your account area. There is also a bitmap library containing hundreds of icons and other small images. The bitmap editor allows you to create bitmaps through use of a pixel grid. There is also a free Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro plug-in here. A Java convertor (PIC2WBMP) is available here.

Another common failure, for some WML pages, is seen when the wapbox log-file read something like "WML compiler: Parsing failed, no parsed document." Here, the libxml parser failed to understand the WML page, for some reason. Either the page is really malformed, or libxml has a problem. use 'xml-config --version' or 'rpm -q libxml', 'rpm -q libxml2', 'rpm -q libxml-devel' or 'rpm -q libxml2-devel' to find out whether libxml is installed on your system at all, and to see which version it is at.

your browser does not treat Numeric Character References correctly (according to HTML 4 or XML rules); or you browser uses the "encoding" to determine which font to use, and the font it has selected does not have the characters. Try changing the "Encoding" menu item (e.g. to Big5 or UTF-8): it is under a different menu on different browsers. )

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) Codes are also used to create links, insert images, and to create websites, etc. lt;a href="http://www.yoursite.com"><img src="http://www.yoursite.com/yourimage.gif"></a> lt;a href="your@email.com"><img src="http://www.yoursite.com/yourimage.gif"></a> lt;marquee direction=right><imgsrc="http://www.yoursite.com/yourimage.

Yes, support for upper-ASCII characters is built into Webglimpse 2.1.01 and above; no manual changes are necessary.

A future version of Cool Page will have a WYSIWYG HTML import feature. We apologize that we do not have that feature yet. We do have Paste HTML in Edit menu which you can use to insert "snippets" of HTML, but it is not appropriate for importing whole pages because Paste HTML is not WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get).

This document is intended to familiarize you with the World Wide Web tools available in your WAM and/or Glue account by providing answers to the most commonly-asked questions that appear in the webmaster and system staff mailboxes, um.* newsgroups, and our request system.

You can't. Due to the way a wiki works, it's all or nothing. But with a bit of work, one can tweak things so that the HTML code will only be executed if the page is protected, thus effectively giving whoever has the protection privilege the necessary control.

One almost wonders that because of [title winnies complanint] whether the first character of a tag should be required to be a alphabetic character. That would effectively force the list to be strickly alphabetic and would end forever this stupid fight to be on top or bottom of the list. That meaans that any special tag functioning would need to be done at the end of the tag. The censors tag would become things like "nudity|" or "porn|".

new characters have joint the 37 that have been permitted earlier (a-z, 0-9 and -). This corresponds to all those lower-case characters contained in the Unicode Latin-1 Supplement and Latin Extended-A blocks that remain available after normalization by means of a function known as "nameprep". These include the three German umlauts, ??, ?? and ??, as well as letters with accents and other diacritics. DENIC has put all these characters together for you in a table.

Wireless Markup Language (WML) is the language used to design Internet sites viewable by devices such as mobile phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), and pagers. Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is the framework that allows wireless devices to access the Internet. WML "pages" are referred to as cards, with related cards for a site grouped into decks. Rather than downloading each card individually, your WAP browser actually downloads the entire deck.

Answer: Section 7.1 of the WML1 specification discusses why ampersand is encoded this way. It is because ampers is an XML language and amp (&) and lt. (<) have special meaning and therefore have to be escaped. Answer: This question pertains to the definition of the DTD of WML V1.3. PCDATA is an SGML construct for document text. (please refer to HTML 4.01 for more info). The line <!ELEMENT a (#PCDATA |br|img)*> in section 9.9 of the WML1.3 defines the short form of anchor (section 9.

If you want to just include a bit of markup in the text of an item in a folder, you can type the HTML codes into the box in the page editor. Click "add document" then include the HTML markup in the "Enter Information Below" area, and check "HTML" button. That's good only for very simple things like boldface, and you have to be careful not to foul up the page (e.g. by having a beginning tag but no ending tag. If you don't know HTML, you can copy the tags from your HTML editor.

URL Encoding is a process of transforming user input to a CGI form so it is fit for travel across the network -- basically, stripping spaces and punctuation and replacing with escape characters. URL Decoding is the reverse process. To perform these operations, call java.net.URLEncoder.encode() and java.net.URLDecoder.decode() (the latter was (finally!) added to JDK 1.2, aka Java 2). URL Rewriting is a technique for saving state information on the user's browser between page hits.

quote] text [/quote] = Surrounds the given text with blockquote and hr's. This UBBCode tag is used for quoting a reply.

There are many tools on the World Wide Web that can offer you assistance in this matter. The code will look something like this: 66FF33. Every color has its own code.

NO. It's because I have write a lot of these codings myself, or I have gotten it from other people (with permission of course). Even if you get my consent, you may not get the others. So please don't take it.

There is a very simple problem with LIKE searches on BINARY and BLOB columns: we need to know the end of a character. With multi-byte character sets, different characters might have different octet lengths.

No. It's been carefully checked and should work in all situations. If there's a specific reason you want to change the Ring code, please ask us about it.

The units used to calculate text amount differ from country to country. In the UK, the standard used by most agencies and freelance translators is pricing 'per 1,000 words' of the source text. In the USA they also count words. In Germany you are likely to be quoted a rate per line (or 55 characters). In Russia it is a typed page which has exactly 1,800 characters.

WAP stands for "Wireless Access Protocol" and is loosely (and inaccurately) used to refer to devices (such a phones, PDA's, handhelds, etc.) that can access the internet. The confusion comes from the fact that Sprint phones have browsers that are compatible with multiple types of web pages, including WAP. A site compatible with your phone may be HTML, XHMTL, or WAP (i.e., WML). A "true" WAP site is a web site with pages written in WML rather than HTML.
