I've encountered (what I think is) a strange behavior when using the sax parser, and I wanted to know if it's normal. I'm sending this XML through the SAX parser: The "& a m p ;" gets converted to " & # 3 8 ;" when the startElement callback is called. Is it supposed to do that? If so, I would like to understand why. I've pasted an...
Hi all, I was reading litb's question about SFINAE here and I was wondering exactly what his code is declaring. A simpler (without the templates) example is below: int (&a())[2]; What exactly is that declaring? What is the role of the &? To add to my confusion, if I declare the following instead int b()[2]; I get an error about dec...
This is something I've been wondering for a while now. I'll occasionally come across an RSS feed that is broken, and blown to pieces all because line 23 say "Sanford & Sons." The most confusing thing is the fact that if you convert the & into &, all is well, even though your alternative still contains the problem-char! Please somebo...
The following code snippet on SQL server 2005 fails on the ampersand '&': select cast('<name>Spolsky & Atwood</name>' as xml) Does anyone know a workaround? Longer explanation, I need to update some data in an XML column, and I'm using a search & replace type hack by casting the XML value to a varchar, doing the replace and updating ...
Whenever an & is present on the text, getting the height seems to be off all the time. Both functions return less than the actual height: CGSize labelSize = [nameLabel.text sizeWithFont:nameLabel.font constrainedToSize: CGSizeMake( actualWidth, MAXFLOAT ) lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap]; CGRect textSize = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 32...
Hey there! I want to simply not use ampersand in my URL so I can pass ampersands further down into my system when a file is requested. The problem is Apache deals with it differently. I don't know how I already rewrite the requested file to index.php?url=$1 so I can see what it was, but if it has an ampersand in there, it can't continu...
I've written some Ruby code to inspect ZIP-files as part of an internal company process. The way we usually launch this code is from a web browser. When you click to download the file, you select "open with" and specify the full path to a small batch file. This one-line batch file looks like this: \\mathworks\public\Matthew_Simoneau\...
I have used the single ampersand (&) in C# to mean "check the second conditional statement even if the first is false". But the following seems to be a different meaning of & altogether, can anyone explain how i & 1 works in the following example? List<int> scores = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 }; var evenScores = scores.Whe...
Using XSLT and XPath 1.0, I have a string I want to escape for use on a URL, for example: <description>one word & another</description> So, the text() of the description element should get URL escaped. How would I do this? Using C# (XslCompiledTransform) the code would be: string a = Server.UrlEncode("one word & another"); An...
I'm using the Facebook library with this code in it: class FacebookRestClient { ... public function &users_hasAppPermission($ext_perm, $uid=null) { return $this->call_method('facebook.users.hasAppPermission', array('ext_perm' => $ext_perm, 'uid' => $uid)); } ... } What does the & at the beginning of the functi...

I was searching the net for a random password generator and I come across this code <?php function generatePassword($length=9, $strength=0) { $vowels = 'aeuy'; $consonants = 'bdghjmnpqrstvz'; if ($strength & 1) { $consonants .= 'BDGHJLMNPQRSTVWXZ'; } if ($strength & 2) { $vowels .= "AEUY"; } if ($s...
On my site www.gibberize.com if you type in the word "and" in the top textarea, the character "&" will appear in the second textarea. The problem is that the "tweet it" link will then append the second textarea's text to a url and proceed to the link, but because it is an ampersand it will break the text. Any solutions? ...
I use the following control to output a HTML link: <asp:HyperLink ID="hlEditDetails" runat="server" CssClass="arrow-forward" Text="Edit Details & Photo" /> However, when it does, the markup is generated as: <a id="ctl00_hlEditDetails" class="arrow-forward" href="/EventName/EditDetails.aspx?ID=1">Edit Details & Photo</a> The une...

I'm trying to parse an XML string containing characters & < and > in the TEXTDATA. Normally, those characters should be htmlencoded, but in my case they aren't so I get the following messages: Warning: DOMDocument::loadXML() [function.loadXML]: error parsing attribute name in Entity ...

My issue is the following. I have a XHTML 1.1 page that has a form and input fields. One of the input fields contains a value which is an URI. This URI contains key-value pairs with ampersand (&) as argument separator, that will be passed as a GET request by another web application in the browser. Usually I would use the entity & to...
I have TONS of XML Parsing Error: EntityRef: expecting ';' errors on my page only because of the incorrect use ampersands in links by the developer. Instead of asking him to use & instead of &, how can I replace those after page load using jQuery? Edit: Ah right, validators read the source so it won't work. Is there any other way ...
Im trying to make my joomla powered site w3c compliant. I am stuck with ampersand encoding, I want to encode the '&' to '& amp;'(no space) under the menu, as required. However the menu link can not be directly edited (read-only), I was wondering how I can change this to be encoded? Thanks ...
