register trademark

herald10

Hi,
I need to put a string with register trademark as a default value for a text field in a DCT. In the text field when I put &174; it complains "An internal problem was encountered trying to create a requirements object for type downloads/program. " . Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance,
-H

Can you try

&174;

or FormAPI?

I entered the following in the DCT. It just displays &174; instead of the register trade mark.
<default>CompanyName &174; Program</default>

Thanks

That should be fine - when you preview that content the browser should convert it to a trademark symbol.

Could you just use:
®

or &reg;

I got it to work by entering Â®

That must be the Chinese trademark symbol. At least in Mozilla. I would avoid using that one.

herald10

You are right! Just now I checked it in Mozilla and the DCR doesn't load with the default value set to that chinese register trademark. Is there any other way of doing it?

Thanks

I usually go with FormAPI everywhere instead of using <default>.

herald10

Even the formAPI thing throws the same errors. :-(

Migrateduser

Never embed FormAPI in the DCT itself (that probably shouldn't even be allowed) - it just causes XML escaping issues and makes the code harder to read, plus if your DCT exists in multiple branches/workareas you have synchronization issues (just like you do with DCTs but there is no way to avoid that). Put the .js file in IWHOME/httpd/iw/formapi/{category}/{type}.js and reference it as:

<script language="javascript" location="webserver" src="/iw/formapi/{category}/{type}.js"/>

That way there are no encoding issues and the same piece of code is shared to all instances of the DCTs. The same approach can be used to share common routines to all DCTs (except put the file in IWHOME/httpd/iw/formapi/functions.js or whatever).

To pick a nit:

IMHO, js files that are specific to a data type should be stored in the same directory as the datacapture.cfg. Then, they can be referenced in the datacapture simply by:

<script language="javascript" location="template-type" src="{type}.js"/>

Only js files that are universal should be stored under IWHOME/httpd/iw

Why? I mean, as long as you version everything custom that gets installed to IWHOME, why would you want to copy this .js file into every workarea that contanis this DCT?

JonathonG

Well, since I'd be submitting it to STAGING along with the datacapture.cfg, I wouldn't need to "copy" it to all workareas...it would just be there when I do a Get Latest.

Basically, my reasoning is that the type-specific js files tend to be much more tied to the datacapture structure than the non-type-specific. By placing them in the same directory, this relationship is much more explicit, IMHO. Plus, you don't have to duplicate the category/datatype structure under the httpd/iw directory (or the branching structure, if you've got many branches).

But, obviously, either way will work. I just think the way I've proposed is more "self-documenting"

In the javascript file how do I reference the register trademark? &174; or just paste it from some where else. Because both values don't work in my script :-(

JonathonG

In your javascript file, you should just be able to use &174;

Since this isn't part of any kind of markup file, you don't need to "escape" the &.
