    when there is a table and the data looks something like this

    Part Number;Width;Color;Pkg Qty
    VS.5X6XX-100;1/2″ x 6″ VELCRO STRIP;BLACK;100 PK
    VS.5X7XX-100;1/2″ x 7″ VELCRO STRIP;BLUE;100 PK
    VS.5X8XX-100;1/2″ x 8″ VELCRO STRIP;BLACK;100 PK
    VS.75X6XX-100;3/4″ x 6″ VELCRO STRIP;BLACK;100 PK
    VS.75X7XX-100;3/4 x 7 VELCRO STRIP;BLUE;100 PK
    VS.75X8XX-100;3/4″ x 8″ VELCRO STRIP;BLACK;100 PK

    it imports fine, but certain browsers render the info weirdly. If I export the same table. I will get the following from the system.

    Part Number;Width;Color;Pkg Qty
    VS.5X6XX-100;”1/2\”” x 6\”” VELCRO STRIP”;BLACK;100 PK
    VS.5X7XX-100;”1/2\”” x 7\”” VELCRO STRIP”;BLUE;100 PK
    VS.5X8XX-100;”1/2\”” x 8\”” VELCRO STRIP”;BLACK;100 PK
    VS.75X6XX-100;”3/4\”” x 6\”” VELCRO STRIP”;BLACK;100 PK
    VS.75X7XX-100;3/4 x 7 VELCRO STRIP;BLUE;100 PK
    VS.75X8XX-100;”3/4\”” x 8\”” VELCRO STRIP”;BLACK;100 PK

    Any ideas on how to correct it. I cant seem to get it to render correctly at all. Even when I hand input the data into the field.

    Hi,

    can you elaborate on what you mean with “certain browsers render the info weirdly”?

    And what exactly is the problem with the exported data? The double quotation marks are expected, as that is the way to escape a single quotation mark.

    Sorry if it was confusing.

    Certain browser/os combinations display weird square boxes and what not on output. IE (all versions) on windows xp, and firefox(3-11) on linix (Ubuntu).

    If it is type directly into the control panel and not imported it seems like all is well. I am sure it has to do with encoding of the csv file or something. But I couldn’t find a single encoding type that would work.

    Hi,

    ok, thanks for the explanation. Unfortunately, I don’t really see why this happens.

    Can you maybe post a link to the page with the table that is render wrong?

    Thanks!
    Tobias
