Andreas Hartmann updated COCOON-2249: ------------------------------------- Attachment: MinimalXMLEncoder.java This is the MinimalXMLEncoder that was missing in the last patch. > XHTMLSerializer uses entity references " and ' which cause > JavaScript parse errors > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COCOON-2249 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-2249 > Project: Cocoon > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Blocks: Serializers > Affects Versions: 2.1.12-dev (Current SVN), 2.2-dev (Current SVN) > Reporter: Andreas Hartmann > Attachments: COCOON-2249-2009-01-21-1601.txt, MinimalXMLEncoder.java > > > The XHTMLSerializer, or, more specifically, the XHMLEncoder, from the > serializers block in Cocoon 2.1.x escapes all characters with a corresponding > HTML 4.0 character entity reference into this entity reference. This causes > issues with inline JavaScript, since e.g. the double quotes are transformed > to " which causes a JavaScript parsing error. Another minor negative > effect is the increased document size. > If I understand the W3C correctly, see e.g. [2], the recommended approach is > to use the character set of the encoding as far as possible, > and use escapes only in exceptional circumstances. I didn't find a reason why > the XHTMLSerializer uses escapes, but I suspect that it is related to browser > compatibility issues. > Maybe we could make this behaviour configurable, e.g. > <use-entity-references>true|false</use-entity-references> > [1] > http://www.nabble.com/Problem-with-XHTMLSerializers-to1311360.html#a1311360 > [2] http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/ -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
