Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 257 by [email protected]: Entities not working correctly in XHTML (mac-only) http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=257
The following xhtml file does not behave properly in Chromium's TestShell on Mac. It doesn't seem WebCore-related, so I'm filing it here. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head> <title/> </head> <body> <script> var b = "→"; alert(b); alert(b.length); </script> </body> </html> Its output is two alerts, one with an empty alert (should be the 'right arrow' symbol) and the next with a length of 0. This works correctly in Safari and Firefox, as well as Chromium on Win and Linux. It appears to be mac-only. If you add a form field in the body and set its value to "→" it has the correct value and length if you fetch them from Javascript. It's the naked entity that seems to have problems. Finally, core entities such as < and > work fine, probably because they're a special case within libxml. This is a reduction of the WebKit.org layout test LayoutTests/fast/parser/entities-in-attributes.xhtml if you want to play with it in that setting. Let me know if you have any other questions. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
