Parameters

Parameter Type Description
sTxt String Data string to write to browser

Syntax

Procedure WriteHtmlPlainText String sTxt

Call Example

Send WriteHtmlPlainText sTxt

Description

WriteHtmlPlainText encodes and then outputs the passed text to the HTML file. The text is encoded so that all special HTML characters (e.g, "<", ">") are converted to their proper HTML replacements (i.e., "<" ">";).

The following text will be encoded and output properly to HTML.

Send WriteHtmlPlainText Customer.Name

Be careful how you use this. The following message would probably not yield the desired results.

Send WriteHtmlPlainText ("<b>" + Customer.Notes + "</b>")

Rather than displaying the text in bold you would see the text displayed exactly as it was sent (you would see the and the) . To get the desired results you could do one of the following:

Send WriteHTML ("<b>" + HTMLEncode(Customer.Notes) + "</b>")

Or:

Send WriteHtml      "<b>"
Send WriteHtmlPlainText Customer.Notes
Send WriteHtml      "<b>"

DataFlex Code

Send WriteHtmlPlainText Customer.Name
