HTMLA Web Site Friendly Names Are Truncated

ID: Q224368

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Internet Information Services version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When you create a new Web site using the Internet Services Manager, if certain characters are used (other than letters or numbers), the full name in the HTMLA Web Administration forms may be truncated.

For example, if you create a new site using the Internet Services Manager and call it New"Web"Site (including the quotation marks), when you view the site in the HTMLA Web Administration forms ("http://localhost/iisadmin" by default), only "New" is viewable, instead of the Web site's full name.

CAUSE

The problem is caused when the string values in an ASP script are used to generate JavaScript literals. The characters cause a problem in the script itself (errors), so they are truncated.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Internet Information Services version 5.0.
