Alessandro Behling updated RF-5599:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Content between angle brackets is being stripped out from
selected item of a suggestion box (was: Angle brackets are being stripped out
from selected item of a suggestion box)
Description:
The problem presented itself when we migrated data from a legacy database. The
migrated data is full of bits of descriptions that might include angle
brackets. ie.
'XXXX - US.1 <ORIG 5 MINS> - YYYYY 1'
On my list of results being displayed inside the the suggestion box, this gets
listed as expected, but once I select this item and set it back to the input
field the suggestion box is attached, it gets retrieved as
'XXXX - US.1 - YYYYY 1'
After spending the day debuging the code, I managed to find out that the snipet
of html that is sent back to the client has a few TDs
will try to rougly write it how it looked
<TD display:"NONE">XXXX - US.1 - YYYYY 1<TD>
<TD>XXXX - US.1 <ORIG 5 MINS> - YYYYY 1<TD>
and the bit that gets used is the first TD which doesn't get displayed and is
picked as the value of the item inside my list
The behaviour I would expect is that the value is honored as it is, since we
cannot change the data which has been migrated from an old application and this
is a major impact on the way the application will work. What seems to be
happening is that RichFaces thinks the tags are dirty and wrong HTML bits and
tries to be clever and cleans it up for you, but in this case what it actually
does is screw the whole point of using the interface component
Could it have an option of honoring such characters? so that it could fit to
the purpose it already has, and also, suit cases like the one described
