If you were a computer developer like ME, you would have known that JohnRob's problem with this website is a failure to encode the HTML (which is also a very significant security failure, BTW!!!! If something funky sneaks into the DB, the output could contain a link- or img-inject, and a good hacker could harvest... oooo I dunno, stuff like banking session cookies! XSS or XSRF, here we come!!!)

My friend John.... just get a quick HTML encode in there just before you paint the HTML and all the quote problems (and the security issue I mentioned) will go away.

Hey bro. Backtrack, and tell John this. It’s a quick solve of the quote thing, also prevents a link or img-inject hack.

The FedGov didn’t put me through Defensive Programming and Threat Modeling courses for nuttin’. :)

Buckeye. Tell ‘im. :)
