Submitted data encoded incorrect when htmlEncodeOutput = true

[Thomas C. Thomsen]

It seems that the submitted data is not always encoded correct when htmlEncodeOutput is set to true.

For example < is encoded into &lt; which is correct, where as æ is converted into aelig; which is not correct (notice the missing prefix & in aelig;).

Using replacebycode.html sample (with htmlEncodeOutput option added there), I've got following when submitting data:

<p>ß</p>

Which is correct.

How do you test it?

[Thomas C. Thomsen]

I am testing up against asp.net app and æ is encoded into aelig; - could you try to submit "foo bar æøå" and post the submitted data?

[Piotrek Koszuliński]

<p>foo bar æøå</p>

I'll ask my colleague if he can test it on ASP.NET. But it definitely works well on PHP.

[Thomas C. Thomsen]

Thanks a lot for your help.

I now realize that my string is being escaped twice (&aelig; becomes &amp;aelig;).

I just do a replace("&amp;", "&") and all is well. Thanks again

I now realize that my string is being escaped twice (&aelig; becomes &amp;aelig;).

Could you explain in more detail?

1. Which editor you use - do you use CKEditor asp.net or CKEditor JS only in ASP.net application
2. Why string is escaped twice. What escapes it second time? You have given JS method replace("&amp;", "&") as solution. Is there another JS escaping this HTML?
