hi,
i found a little problem in eform and ive got no idea to fix it.
if i use eform and submit the form withput filling out the required fields a message will be give out and the fields a fill have the same value.

if i use quotes the following will be:

<input type="text" name="city" value=""Dessau"" />

the text in the quotes will be hidden, so i need to escape the quotes like:

<input type="text" name="city" value="\"Dessau\"" />

a snippet like this dont work:

<input type="text" name="city" value="[[addslashes? &var=`[+city+]`]]" />

[[addslashes]]:
<? return addslashes($var); ?>

Any Ideas for this Problem?

PS: modxcms.com has the same problem. look at http://modxcms.com/learn/showcase/?view=submit and fill "test" in the name filed, "test" will be hidden sad

Use " in the value instead of quote marks

value=""Dessau""

This is the proper way to mark up quotes in HTML.

good morning kp52,
thanks for your answer.

but, how it works to tell eform that he had to decode quotes like your example?

otherwise, i need a workaround for execute snippets on form parsing, so i can to do this:

<input type="text" name="city" value="[[decodequotes? &var=`[+city+]`]]" />

Snippetcode [[decodequotes]]:
<? return str_replace('"', '"', $var); ?>

i looked into the eform.inc.php file and add the following on line 165:

165: $value = str_replace('"', '"', $value); // added by Jens Wittmann (www.3undzwanzig.com)
166: $fields[$name]	= stripslashes(($allowhtml || $formats[$name][2]=='html')? $value:$modx->stripTags($value));

the script works... finally i testing some examples.
