Ipad/mobile and html encoded Jquery URL link

I have made a web app and we are using imageflow

And in the description for the image we have a link to another part of our website. The problem is that the href has to be html encoded or else it breaks the decription and places the url in the wrong place. Because of this it does not work on mobile or the ipad/phone.

Is there a alternitive i can use to encode instead of using $quot; for example or some type of fix i can use to get this to play nice with mobile?

<img src="image/img1.jpg" longdesc="setup.php" alt="&lt;strong&gt;Name1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Birthday1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;profile.php&quot;&gt;View Profile&lt;/a&gt; / &lt;a href=&quot;photos.php&quot;&gt;Photos&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;greenText&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Question&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;ask.php&quot;&gt;Ask them!&lt;/a&gt; " />

Each image is like this. The Imageflow app asks that the urls to be encoded in the alt description.

Solution

  • You've got a few options to escape a quote:

    • &#32;
    • &#x22;
    • &quot;
    • %22 (shortest one)

    If possible, I recommend to change the URL to a more appropriate URL instead.
