I love seeing what the apostrophe in my last name breaks when I sign up for services.
Converting it to an HTML character entity is not really expected behaviour, but it was among the most amusing I’ve seen.
O'Brien was it? Bonus points if you edit the profile and those are expanded too. Hello Mr. O'Brien.
- Loic 2y agoI have an apostrophe too and it broke many websites. It was also a natural source of SQL injection detection. About 20 years ago, I was able to see a bit more than what I supposed to from the Ikea website. Nowadays, I see mostly encoding issues, especially in notification pop-ups.
