Re: Unstickying CGI

I got around the problem by print html strings like this:

print "<input name=$name value=$value>\n";

This won't be sticky.

This is slightly offtopic and very nitpicky and may very well get me voted down but HTML should have quoted attribute values: `print "<input name=\"$name\" value=\"$value\">\n";` The same code written in XHTML 1.0: `print "<input name=\"$name\" value=\"$value\" />\n";`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Also, I find that if you have to escape more then one quote, you're probably better off invoking qq{} with different delimiters, like <code>print qq{<input name="$name" value="$value" /> (I almost always write XHTML; no good reason not too.) Also, you should be more careful if $name or $value potentialy contain quotes. Confession: It does an Immortal Body good.	[reply]
