Suite and Optimus Suite 5
#1

HI,



I’m using the dhtmlxcombo with filtering mode, where i load the content trough a php file. However, i get the load xml error. when i open the php file. it indicates that whitespace is not allowed at this location. I only get this error in one string where the string contains the “&” character in the combo list.



the following string indicates an whitespace error after the “&” character

how to solve this problem?



kind regards,

Nasir

The & is prohibited by XML rules, it must be replaced with &
There are two ways
a) direct escaping

Hi,



I’m again fasing a problem with illegal chracters in the combobox. I’m using filteringmode and loading data from a php file. The problem i’m fasing is that when i replace strings containing ‘&’ with the & it does not show any load xml error however, when i submit the form it does not pass the option value. i tried checkking the following variable NAME_new_value, but it displays the value true. From what i have read this mean that the value typed does not match any item in the list. But in my case i select the option using the arrow keys which is already in the list. Can u please tell me what a possible soloution to this is?



Thnx!

There are two possible solution

a) use double escaping for & char in XML ( first escaping - to accommodate  XML rules, second for correct HTML rendering )

b) update dhtmlxcombo.js , comment line 197
    value=value.replace(/&/g,"&")

There shouldn’t be issues with this xml…


Try to place the text into CDATA tag. Possibly it’ll help:

It still doesn’t seem to fix the problem. Please find attached a sample of the xml file.
