Hi,

I am trying to edit the "Information" section in the OC Admin. When I enter any text in the "Description" area that includes a "%" symbol, it gives me this error:

Precondition Failed
The precondition on the request for the URL /rentdemo/admin/index.php evaluated to false.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Am not sure of any other special characters..but I've only encountered this with the "%" symbol as of now.
Also, i've tried inserting the symbol in a table, or even through selecting the "Specials Characters" link on the editor..but still the same error. Can anyone help??

Several characters, notably \ and / and : as well as ' and " and several others such as # and % mean something specific to the machine itself -- to Linux or Windows, to php, etc.. Those characters can be machine read as (or in) text strings if they are "escaped" first, by putting \ in front of them EACH TIME, such as \\, \/, \:, \", \'. In order to use % you may need to "escape" it so that it is read as text string -- you escape it as \%. Won't necessarily work. In order to do any of that, put the editor into Source mode, using the button above the top left corner of the box (wysiwyg mode will make a mess), and keep it in Source mode right on through hitting Save.
