[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DISPL-387?page=comments#action_73879 ] Paul Sammy commented on DISPL-387: ----------------------------------
My workaround is to modify the standard org.displaytag.decorator.EscapeXmlColumnDecorator class to do a search and replace on the unsupported alphanumeric entity and replace it with the numeric entity. So: // escape the contents returnValue = StringEscapeUtils.escapeXml(columnValue.toString()); // because IE doesn't understand ' we replace with ' if (StringUtils.contains(returnValue.toString(), "'")) { // tis found returnValue = StringUtils.replace( returnValue.toString(), "'", "'"); } then in the jsp, instead of using escapeXml="true", you need to do decorator="foo.blah.myclass" > problem for single quote escaping for single quote character in displaytag > column tags using escapeXML="true" > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DISPL-387 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DISPL-387 > Project: DisplayTag > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: ruth shacter > > It appears that displaytag escapes (when escapeXml="true") a single quote > with ' > c:out and bean:write tags escape it with ' > The problem is that while Firefox and Safari understand ', Internet > Explorer does not.
