The correct idea :)
In tacos.js, in tacos.loadElement we do:
localElement.innerHTML=tacos.getContentAsString(contents);
Do a dojo.debug on this, and you'll see <textarea/> !
In firefox, tacos.getContentAsString calls tacos._getContentAsStringMozilla
which in turn uses the XMLSerializer which is responsible for changing
<textarea></textarea> into <textarea/>.
I haven't been able to find any method that alters the behaviour of the
serializer,
so maybe the simplest fix would be doing a search and replace.
Here's the code - or should I commit since I now have access ? :)
function fixTextarea(content)
{
var taMatcher = '<textarea(.*?)/>';
var match = new RegExp(taMatcher);
content = content.replace(match, "<textarea$1></textarea>");
if (content.match(match))
return fixTextarea(content);
else
return content;
}
and some tests
function tests()
{
alert(fixTextarea("blah<textarea id='1'/>more <b>content</b>"));
alert(fixTextarea("<textarea id='1' />more <b>content</b>"));
alert(fixTextarea("<textarea id='1'/><textarea id='2'/>"));
alert(fixTextarea("<textarea id='1'></textarea>more <b>content</b>"));
alert(fixTextarea("<textarea id='1'>more <b>content</b>
here!</textarea>"));
alert(fixTextarea("<textarea/>"));
}
