jQuery UI Dialog & XHTML Compliance
Hello all,
I'm working from the current trunk version here; I've found an issue
with the dialog and XHTML compliance. ThrushAAX was kind enough to
point out in #jquery-ui that if you don't have the title option set
when working with a page properly served up as application/xhtml+xml
that the dialog will cause an error. The exact error within Firefox is
as follows:
Error: undefined entity
Source File:
Line: 1, Column: 43
Source Code:
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> </
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure
code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)
[nsIDOMNSHTMLElement.innerHTML]" nsresult: "0x80004003
(NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)" location: "JS frame ::
http://localhost/res/js/jquery/jquery-1.3.2.min.js :: anonymous ::
line 12" data: no]
Line 38 in jquery.ui.dialog.js is the immediate offender. The simple
fix is to replace instances of ' ' in the script to ' '.
is an invalid xml entity, and   is the code replacement,
and is recognized in all browsers. Ideally, that element shouldn't
have anything inserted, as the user did not specify that he/she wanted
a 'space'. But replacing it with the numeric code is pretty
acceptable.
Please do share your comments. I would like to fix this for the next
version (1.8 if I'm not mistaken).
Thanks,
Andrew
