passing article title to a form input value?

iblastoff · 2007-09-19 23:59:13

basically i’m trying to do the following for a typical paypal form:

<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="<txp:title />">

as an example, we’ll say the article title is “this is the page title”. but it gets encoded into html entities and is passed as this:

<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="this&#160is&#160the&#160page&#160title">

i need to somehow ‘decode’ the passed title to get rid of the “&#160”‘s showing up so it looks like this:

<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="this is the page title">

—-

is there a different way i should be doing this in order to get the output i want?

i’m gonna use this instead :

<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="<txp:article_url_title />">

which uses the url title so it becomes:
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="this-is-the-page-title">

thanks anyway!
