xhtml serialization and form textarea
Hi,
1. Using CForms I generate a form with a textarea. If I serialize it
as xml the output is :
<textarea title="" name="enjoy" id="enjoy:input" class="forms field
active" rows="10" cols="40"/>
2. If I serialize it as html the output is :
<textarea title="" name="enjoy" id="enjoy:input" class="forms field
active" rows="10" cols="40"></textarea>
which is correct and the form displays correctly
3. However when I serialize as XHTML 1.0 Strict the xhtml output is:
<textarea title="" name="enjoy" id="enjoy:input" class="forms field
active" rows="10" cols="40"/>
which is not correct and the form does not display correctly
Please, how do I get correct xhtml
Thanks
Peter Sparkes

Hi Tobia,
Thanks for your suggestion, I have not had time to try it yet and am
away for the next few days, will try it when I come back. In the mean
time Jasha suggestion to use
org.apache.cocoon.components.serializers.XHTMLSerializer works

What you say is true and also happens with <div/>, <script/>, and a
few other elements. My advice is to avoid the "xhtml" serializer
altogether, as defined in the root sitemap. The problem is that it
outputs XML (in fact it uses the XML serializer) but with a "text/html"
mime type, and that confuses browsers.
You can either use the "xhtml11" serializer, which is correctly defined
to output an "application/xhtml+xml" mime type and that means the output
will be parsed as XML; or use the "html" serializer and work with HTML 4.
What I do is use "xhtml11" on browsers that support XHTML (nearly all)
and "html" on the legacy ones (IE, wget, lynx):
<selector name="accept"
src="org.apache.cocoon.selection.RegexpHeaderSelector">
<pattern name="xhtml">application/xhtml\+xml</pattern>
<header-name>Accept</header-name>
</selector>
...
<select type="accept">
<when test="xhtml">
<serialize type="xhtml11"/>
</when>
<otherwise>
<transform src="html-fix.xsl"/>
<serialize type="html"/>
</otherwise>
</select>
Notice how it parses the Accept header and thus works on browsers old,
new, and yet to come, without the need to do user-agent sniffing.
html-fix.xsl adds the following element to <head/>, which is needed in
legacy mode but does harm in XHTML mode:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

Hi Jasha,
The Class is org.apache.cocoon.serialization.XMLSerializer. The version
is whatever comes with cocoon 2.1.10
Doing something like:
<textarea ......>-</textarea>
does not work as the <textarea .. is generated from
<ft:widget id="lodge">
<fi:styling type="textarea" rows="10" cols="40"/>
</ft:widget>
by the forms styling and I can't work out how to change the stylesheets

Hi Peter,
which serializer are you using (both class and version)?
As workaround you can put a in the textarea if your version of the XHTMLSerializer closes the textarea element (not very nice).
