[jira] [Commented] (SLING-9829) data-sly-element should correctly handle void elements

["Paul Bjorkstrand (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-9829?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17214717#comment-17214717 ] 

Paul Bjorkstrand commented on SLING-9829:
-----------------------------------------

Though it would be bead form, I am curious how you will handle when the element name is for a void element, but the actual element has child nodes (text content or other elements). It might be worthwhile to at least debug log when that situation occurs, something along the lines of "The name in data-sly-element <element name> is a void element, all children of this element will be ignored/removed"

Thoughts?

> The current implementation of {{data-sly-element}} doesn't correctly handle void elements which will replace the original element on which the block element was placed:
> When {{$\{item.element.name}}} evaluates to {{link}} or {{meta}}, the element will have a closing tag in the following example, although both {{link}} and {{meta}} are void elements:
> {code:html}
> <script data-sly-element="${item.element.name @ context='unsafe'}"></script>
> {code}
