Jeanne Waldman commented on TRINIDAD-1647: ------------------------------------------ See TRINIDAD-1655 Fix to JIRA-1647 introduced bug where HTMLEscapes._writeText isn't paying attention to startIndex This is needed as well for any backporting. > HTML Escapes writes out characters illegal in HTML > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TRINIDAD-1647 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-1647 > Project: MyFaces Trinidad > Issue Type: Bug > Environment: All > Reporter: Blake Sullivan > Assignee: Blake Sullivan > Fix For: 1.2.13-core > > Attachments: datePicker.gif, HTMLEscapes.patch, > JIRA_1647_1_2_12_2.patch > > Original Estimate: 24h > Remaining Estimate: 24h > > The HTML specification disallows certain code points from appearing in HTML > files (XML has essentially the same list, minus the high ISO characters) as > specified in http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/sgmldecl.html. The Trinidad > HtmlEscapes utilities allow the low control characters and the high > characters that are technically outside of Unicode to be output. This causes > problems if the content is validated. > The fix is to use numeric character references such as  rather than > outputting code point 1 directly. In addition, Internet Explorer has a bug > where � is output as "�" so it is preferable to suppress this character > rather then outputting it. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
