& in Javascript being converted to '

[azebchuk]

If you enter a link such as the following in the source view:

<a title="My Page" onClick="pop('/page?id=212&do=something', 372, 445); return false;" href="#">Test</a>

and then goto the preview mode and back to the source, you will find that the editor has changed the link to the following:

<a title="My Page" onClick="pop('/page?id=212'do=something', 372, 445); return false;" href="#">Test</a>

#461 has been marked as dup

Confirmed with FF2.

With IE6, & are converted to & instead... is this conversion acceptable?

But always with IE, when switching multiple times to source, the & get duplicated.

It happens only because those are event attributes.

Fixed with [427].

Oops... [427] does not work in Internet Explorer, I've committed another change set [428] to fix that. Now it should work across Gecko, IE, Safari and Opera.

These changes broke the handling of popup windows in the link dialog. [443] should fix it.

Wouldn't encodeURIComponent and decodeURIComponent be enough to fix it, avoiding us to introduce the custom hex translation code?

This is what we have after encoding it with encodeURIComponent:

pop('%2Fpage%3Fid%3D212%26do%3Dsomething'%2C%20372%2C%20445)%3B%20return%20false%3B%2C%2F%3F%3A%40%26%3D%2B%24%23 

Reopening just to check it.

I've performed some tests and it seems encodeURIComponent() and decodeURIComponent() works pretty well. [703] changes the encoding and decoding logic to use the simpler approach.

Martin, please take a look at [427] and [443] (taken from the comments in this ticket). It seams that some other parts of the code must be cleaned, modified.

[martinkou]

The code related to the links with popup targets in [443] is already cleaned up in [703]. There's still some leftover code from [427] (in FCKListsLib), though. I've removed it in [707].
