While validating some of my pages, I found out that some pages do not
validate due to & in attributes, e.g.
W3 validator complains with: "character "&" is the first character of a
delimiter but occurred as data."
I'm doing the following in code:
class Image { String path; String alt; }
// for StaticImage see
http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/how-to-load-an-external-image.html
final StaticImage img = new StaticImage("image", new PropertyModel(img,
"path")));
img.add(new AttributeModifier("alt", true, new PropertyModel(img, "alt")));
if alt contains "foo & bar", the page won't validate. I think using
PropertyModel together with AttributeModifier is quite common. however, the
beans won't contain escaped markup ... hopefully ;)
Should this be considered a bug? For the time beeing I use:
new AttributeModifier("alt", true, new Model(album.getName())) {
protected String newValue(final String currentValue, final String
replacementValue) {
return Strings.escapeMarkup(replacementValue).toString();
}
}
btw: While looking for answers, I also found this (quite old) thread:
http://www.nabble.com/Escaping-quotes-in-attributes-td11487305.html#a11487344
Al Maw mentions a comment in code: "attributes without values are possible,
e.g. 'disabled'" inside ComponentTag.writeOutput(...). As mentioned and
suggested in this thread, this is not true for XHTML and should probably be
fixed. However, the comment (and corresponding code) is still there (at
least in wicket 1.3.4).
best regards and nice weekend!
