Scott Wilson commented on WOOKIE-178:
-------------------------------------
The HTML span tags are to ensure that text displays OK on the browser when it
uses right-to-left alphabets or mixtures of LTR & RTL (e.g. a widget with an
Arabic title containing an English word or acronym). I'm not sure about how
this works when dealing with alert boxes - I think we could convert it to use
the Unicode escape characters instead. (Either that or try to avoid having
these labels turn up in alert boxes.)
> Result of widget.getWidgetTitle() can sometimes contain html span tags which
> may upset javascript code in jsps

> Key: WOOKIE-178
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WOOKIE-178
> Project: Wookie
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Web Admin
> Affects Versions: 0.9.1
> Environment: Windows Vista sp2 firefox & Ie 8
> Reporter: Paul Sharples
> Assignee: Paul Sharples
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: 0.9.1
>
>
> The call to widget.getWidgetTitle() can result in the returned string
> containing HTML span tags
> <span style="unicode-bidi:embed; direction:ltr">You decide</span>
> Normally this would not be a problem, but there are instances where the
> result of that function call is passed to a javascript function within a jsp.
> The jsps then have UI problems. As a temporary measure the code has been
> altered for 0.9.x so that the javascript functions receive only an empty
> string.(the value is only used in an alert box anyway) An improvement would
> be to parse the result of the above function call and extract the text. 'You
> decide' and pass that to the javascript code.
> See jsp pages webcontent/admin/listall.jsp and
> webcontent/admin/listallfordelete.jsp
