SID-01178: Writing HTML into a text area input to pass as 1

Hello, I was having some trouble figuring out how to post conditional input into a table. So I wrote some javascript to write the html for each row into a textarea input that I use as a %URLPARAM% for the Comment Plugin. I put the anchor inside the table on another page. So far it is working, but are there any problems that I am not seeing that could arise out of doing it this way?

Thanks, Josh

Discussion and Answer

Hi Josh,

what kind of conditional input do you have? The IF statement should work in tables too (it does with my twiki 4.3) and there is also the if condition from the SpreadSheetPlugin.

In my opinion your solution sounds good too. You should always be careful that no user can insert any harmful code into your wiki but I think thats ok in your case.

The CommentPlugin is a great tool - I like using it.

Some people do have javascript disabled in their browser, but that will bring general problems with twiki (and many other pages).

I hope that helps you, otherwise just ask
