how to display html?
Hi,
i have a requirement that the user should be able to
enter a href in a text area ex:
<a
href="http://www.yahoo.com">http://www.yahoo.com</a>
Then in a different form, that is read only, this href
should display as a link that can be clicked on.
I tried to do this using the following:
<snip>
<TD>${editBean.note_with_href}</TD>
</snip>
but what I get in the resulting table cell is the
same thing i.e.
<a
href="http://www.yahoo.com">http://www.yahoo.com</a>
i.e. the "<" and ">" have been escape to be < and
>. A bean.toString() method indicates that the
values in the bean are unescaped. The values in the
database also appear to be unescaped.
Who is doing the escaping and how can I prevent it
from happening so that I see a clikcable link?
My sitemap is pretty basic - as follows:
<map:match pattern="display-only-pipeline">
<map:generate type="jx" src="display_template.xml"/>
<map:serialize type="html"/>
</map:match>
thanks!
Paul

Thanks again..(I was talking about getting the new
version of the generator..)

Er, I think you're already using it. You refer to
${editBean.note_with_href} which looks like a bit of JEXL from within a
jx template.

DOM is the Document Object Model, and it is part of Java's way of
handling XML. It is an object that represents XML as tree structures in
memory.
See, if you aren't going to find this an easy approach, I think you
might be going the wrong route. I remember discussions about including
XML in strings in JXTemplate, but cannot remember whether there were any
conclusions.
What you really want to do is to have some XML in a string treated as
XML, not as a string. That is your question, to which I don't have an
immediate answer, I'm afraid.
The other thing to be wary of here is that, if you give people the
freedom to put what they want into a box like that, they can go breaking
things quite badly if you don't validate the input that they are putting in.
Sorry I can't help more.

Re: how to display html?
Posted by Paul Joseph <pj...@yahoo.com>.
Thank you for the pointer.
I think I can manage to download the
JXTemplateGenerator you mention...
I am not clear on the DOMFragment/DomNode bit however.
I can make the bean return a DomNode or DOMFragment
but am not sure what it is or should look like.
Any pointers on this would be helpful.
The text I would like to test out is this:
"Here is a link you can click on for more information:
<a
href="http://www.yahoo.com">http://www.yahoo.com</a>"
What would this have to look like to be treated as a
DomNode?
thx
Paul

Wild guess here (never done it myself):
Could your editBean.note_with_href return a DOMFragment or DomNode? I
think the latest Cocoon in SVN might have code to handle this properly
in JXTemplate.

first .. your html fragment has to be valid xhtml
then:

will point you with some answers.
