Why do spaces " " in entered texts get displayed as plus signs "+"?

FAQ #101609

 

Symptom
After entering text in a text field of a webproject the spaces between words get displayed as plus signs ("+").

"this is a text" results in
"this+is+a+text" being displayed

Solution
Please enable the option "Encode Special Chars" in the project configuration of the Web Editor. This option must always be enabled when the web project will be running on a NT system. (And it mustn't be enabled when running off a old/non-NT-system!)



The 'old' IMasterSaia5_15_02.jar applet does generate the same kind of error.
Do use at least the IMasterSaia5_15_02.jar file with date 05.02.2013, downloadable from the support homepage, section software PG5 Suite 2.0.220.


Remark
Do not enable the "Encode special characters" on the following systems: PCS1, PCD2.M150, PCD2.M170, PCD1.M135.
