Hi Sorry I couldn't reply earlier, net work issues.
Am not very conversant with CSS, still in the learning stage as I work it
out.
So, from the controller:
question = db(db.answers.author ==
auth.user.id).select(orderby=~db.answers.created_on,limitby=(2,0)).....user
query statement
answer = db(db.answers.author ==
auth.user.id).select(orderby=~db.answers.created_on,
limitby=(2,0)).......system reply statement
return dict(form=form, question=question, answer=answer, replies=replies)
whenever the user or system uses a string containing an apostrophe such as
"can't, USDA's Food Guide, etc " the string is not displayed during the
reply and I have to refresh the page. This is the view.html code:
<div class="chat_window">
<ul class="messages">
{{for reply in replies:}}
<li class="message left appeared">
<div>
{{=prettydate(reply.modified_on)}}
</div>
<div class="text_wrapper">
<div
class="text">{{=XML(reply.quest.replace('\n','<br>'))}}</div>
</div>
</li>
<li class="message right appeared">
<div>
{{=prettydate(reply.modified_on)}}
</div>
<div class="text_wrapper">
<div
class="text">{{=XML(reply.message.replace('\n','<br>'))}}</div>
</div>
</li>
{{pass}}
</ul>
style:
<style type="text/css">
