Re: bean:write filter question

[Jeff Beal]

The filtering in <bean:write/> probably only escapes characters that 
have significance in HTML, not JavaScript.  Since 'A:\' doesn't need to 
be escaped in raw HTML content, it doesn't do anything with it.

Hello all... I have a situation where I have to insert a path into a Javascript 
call, like so:
<table>
  <logic:iterate id="listItem" name="sidebarFolderViewActionForm" property="itemsList" 
type="java.io.File">
  <tr>
    <td>
      <a onClick="openFolder("<bean:write name="listItem" property="path" 
/>");">
        <bean:write name="listItem" property="path" />
      </a>
      <br>
    </td>
  </tr>
</logic:iterate>
</table>
Problem is, on Windows anyway, the path includes a backslash, so when rendered 
you get for example:
<table>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <a onClick="openFolder("A:\");">
        A:\
      </a>
      <br>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
...which of course is a script error because the backslash is escaping the 
quotation mark.
So, how does one deal with this?  As I understant, filter="true" is the default 
setting for bean:write... I tried setting it explicitly, to no avail.
Thanks!
