Another HRF bug
on Wed, 25 Aug 2010 11:39:19 +0200
Hi,

it seems as if the handling of <span> tags (at least inside tables) is
messed up.

Unfortunately I do not have the time right now to build a comprehensive
sample, so I just have this.

Consider a html text template with the following markup:

<table>
 <tr>
  <td>
   <span id="test">
    <p>some Paragraph</p>
   </span>
  </td>
 </tr>
</table>

Now I create a table element from this:

oTable := HtmlTableElement():New(,,, cTemplateText )

But the actual content of the table object looks different:

  cText := oTable:ToHtml()

The <span> is completely moved to the beginning of the <td> cell, this is
what cText looks like:

<table>
 <tr>
  <td>
   <span id="test"></span>
   <p>some Paragraph</p>
  </td>
 </tr>
</table>

Thank's for reporting this.

Yes - it basically is useless since the HTML tags are not encoded.

The PDR web frontend must encode HTML specific characters in the
description text like "<", ">" for example as &lt; and &gt; - otherwise
they are treated as html tags instead.

Hi,

Indeed, the PDR looks funny. Beside of that, the description becomes
completely useless. I have followed Thomas' suggestion. Now the PDR
makes more sense.

Thank you.
