Bug: Apostrophes in page name cause truncation

Please click in the box above and give a meaningful title, then fill out any information below that you can. It is all optional, and I’m grateful for whatever you provide.

And please describe the problem below:

I just entered a page “title” with a apostrope in it and the title was truncated just before the apostrophe, e.g.,

Outside LaRC: New Town Old before It's Begun?

became

Outside LaRC: New Town Old before It

upon saving.


I think the bug is because the page title box is an ‘input’ field rather than a ‘textarea’ field and therefore cannot cope with apostrophes. In the development version of Soks I’ve switched the templates to use one line text areas which seems to have solved this. —tamc

Can I just patch this in the appropriate view for the time being?—Bil

Should be ok. You can see the patch I made at http://www.counsell.org/cgi-bin/darcs.cgi/soks-testing/?c=annotate&p=20050831185523-46628-ca0c02923414843a1e5f8fb6b57732972c9f7210.gztamc
