        Key: XERCERJ-55
    Summary: HTMLSerializer serializes attributes with an empty string value incorrectly
       Type: Bug

     Status: Resolved
 Resolution: FIXED

    Project: Xerces2-J

   Assignee: Xerces-J Developers Mailing List
   Reporter: sandor

Environment: Operating System: All
Platform: All

Description:
Consider the following XHTML fragment:
<IMG alt="" src="some.gif"/> When this fragment is serialized as HTML, the 
output is <IMG alt src="some.gif"> -- according to the HTML spec, this is not 
the correct behavior. The following code snippet in HTMLSerializer is the 
culprit:
// HTML: Empty values print as attribute name, no value.
// HTML: URI attributes will print unescaped
if ( value == null || value.length() == 0 )
    _printer.printText( name );
(in startElement and serialize methods). 
A better solution would be:
if ( value == null || value.length() == 0 )
    _printer.printText( name + "=\"\"");
