how can i force a serialiser to generate a -tag even if the
body is empty ?
Hi;
i am experimenting with dojo and i got an expression like this inside my
sourcefile:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="servlet:dojo:/resource/external/dojo/dojo/dojo.js"
djConfig="parseOnLoad:true, isDebug:true"></script>
After serialising to xhtml, the output contains:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="/dojo/resource/external/dojo/dojo/dojo.js"
djConfig="parseOnLoad:true, isDebug:true"/>
which is absolutely perfect... but for some reason the web browser (or dojo)
needs the closing "</script>" although the script tag does not contain any
content...
I did not find any configuration parameter in cocoon, so i just added a fake
entry into the scripts body:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="servlet:dojo:/resource/external/dojo/dojo/dojo.js"
djConfig="parseOnLoad:true, isDebug:true"> </script>
That worked and now dojo (or my browser, or both???) seems to be happy.
But i don't like this hack very much. So how can i force cocoon (probably
the xhtml-serialiser ?) to create a tag-pair around an empty body ?

Hmm... I'm using the XML serializer, no URL suffix and an XHTML-strict
doctype. I'm not aware of an XHTML serializer.
<map:serializer name="xhtml" mime-type="text/html"
src="org.apache.cocoon.serialization.XMLSerializer">
<map:doctype-public>-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN</
map:doctype-public>
<map:doctype-system>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd
</map:doctype-system>
<map:omit-xml-declaration>yes</map:omit-xml-declaration>
<map:encoding>UTF-8</map:encoding>
</map:serializer>
Basically I try to be the strictest possible to avoid triggering the
quirks-mode of certain browsers...

This "closing tag" issue is usually related to mixing html vs. xhtml
and browsers that are not precise with handling both.
Probably your are using xhtml serializer while indicating a HTML doc type to the browser
(evtl. implied by providing a ".html" suffix to the url?).
You might want to play around with combinations of serializer settings and doctypes (and mime types generated or extensions indicated
to the browser). But beware, this might effect other areas of your pages.....

Thanks for your post, I just got bitten by that bug too.
I guess when using forms, it's necessary to add a transformation at
the end to insert the hack:
<xsl:template match="script">
<script>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="text()"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</script>
</xsl:template>
This is a bug only in Mozilla and IE, AFAIK. Safari is fine with self-
closing <script/> tags but helpfully warns about other browsers.
