Firefox removes href attribute from anchor tag on copy paste

Hi Support,
I have a text along with the image used as a hyperlink as follows.
"Sample Text.<a href="javascript:myfunction()"><img title="sample image" src="sample.gif" /></a>"
When i copy the above text and paste it inside a HTML Control (for e.g. iframe), the control removes the href attribute of 'anchor' tag. It happens only with firefox and safari. It is working correctly in internet explorer.
"Sample Text.<a ><img title="sample image" src="sample.gif" /></a>"
Is there any solution for this.? Awaiting for sooner response
Try clicking on the below link
http://screencast.com/t/sXq6BcZvJB

I tested this in Gmail compose, and what I see is: regular links (href="url") are preserved during copy/paste, but javascript links (href="javascript:") are dropped/cleared.
I don't know whether this is by design. One place to research that would be [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/].

Escape attributes for hidden tags

Hi all,
We have a migrated app that created escape attributes for some hidden tags.
ie.
<jato:hidden name="stBeginningCommission" fireDisplayEvents="true"
escape="true" /> 
Looking at the jato.tld and the code for HiddenTag.java, the escape
attribute isn't one that get used for hiddens.
We did a quick clean up and removed the attribute from the JSP but I though
I might be worth a mention for future releases.
It's interesting is tomcat 3.2.1 allows this and 3.2.3 does not.

Dude,
How was the holiday? Hope you had a great time. I see iRise have
you busy again.
Things are going well over here with bug fixing and the new work, so
I'm ultra busy...that life. Give me a shout if you are in my part of
town again, and we can sink a few JDs.

I take everything back.
The tag was originally a text field. It was changed after translation to a
hidden without removing the attribute.

File Download not working for anchor tags

Hello,
I've encountered a bug with the 4.1.31 version of Tomcat. Apparently, when
I use an anchor tag for a file, and I click on the link, it does not show the
file download message "Do you want to open or save this file?" with the open
and save options. Instead, it displays the file in the browser. I know you
could normally save this information from the browser to a file, but I need it
to show the download message because it's easier for users to save their
file. I'm using Internet Explorer version 6, SP2. I've also tried setting
the "Confirm open after download" check box for file types to no avail. It
use to work in Tomcat 4.1.18.
Any help would be appreciated.

Can anyone pls. help me ? I tried all options from disbling firewall to uninstalling Bonjour.. But nothing works. Had I known that Apple makes such worst software I would never have bought iPhone !!!! Apple really *****!!!!!!!

Problem using tags as an attribute for other tags.

Hi there,
I'd like to know if there is a way to use a tag as an attribute for an other tag.
Exemple :
<user:testparent param="<user:param param='1' />" >
When doing so, the value of param is <user:param param='1'/>, and not the value that should be returned by the <user:param /> tag.
Is there a way to use the value returned by this tag as a parameter ?
With text, the correct value returned by the tag is used, so I guess it's possible to do so with custom tags.
Thanks.

Okay, here is an example of the process...
I have this Class that acts as the parent to all the tags that I use:
package net.thelukes.steven.scriptbits;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;
//Other Imports ...
public abstract class ScriptBitsTag extends BodyTagSupport {
 public int doAfterBody() throws JspException {
 return TagSupport.SKIP_BODY;
 public int doEndTag() throws JspException {
 return TagSupport.EVAL_PAGE;
 /* All subclasses of ScriptBitsTag should call super.doStartTag()
 * at the begining of their own doStartTag();
 public int doStartTag() throws JspException {
 initAttributes();
 return TagSupport.SKIP_BODY;
 public abstract void setAttributeValue(String attributeName, String attributeValue);
 public abstract String getAttributeValue(String attributeName);
 /* Use this method to initialize attributes at the start of tag execution */
 public abstract void initAttributes();
 //...So, for example, I will have a sb:slidingFrame tag that looks like this:
package net.thelukes.steven.scriptbits;
// Imports...
public class SlidingFrameTag extends ScriptBitsTag {
 private java.util.Map<SlidingFrameAts,String> attributes =
 new java.util.EnumMap<SlidingFrameAts,String>(SlidingFrameAts.class);
 public int doStartTag() throws JspException {
 super.doStartTag();
 //... Do initialize here
 return TagSupport.EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE;
 public int doEndTag() throws JspException {
 //... Do work that depends on nested parameter values here...
 return TagSupport.EVAL_PAGE;
 //Normal setXXX methods for attributes... <sb:slidingFram windowID="..." >
 public void setWindowID(String name) {
 windowName = name;
 //Do What should happen when nested tag does its work...
 // <sb:slidingFrame><sb:attribute .../></slidingFrame>
 //For me, just put values in proper place in map...
 public void setAttributeValue(String name, String value) {
 SlidingFrameAts attrib = SlidingFrameAts.valueOf(name);
 if (attrib == null)
 return;
 else if (attrib == SlidingFrameAts.useDefaultStyleSheet)
 this.setUseDefaultStylesheet(Boolean.valueOf(value));
 else if (attrib == SlidingFrameAts.offX)
 attributes.put(attrib, value);
 else {
 nonDefaultInit = true;
 attributes.put(attrib, value);
 public String getAttributeValue(String name) {
 return attributes.get(SlidingFrameAts.valueOf(name));
 //Set Default values for all attributes.
 public void initAttributes() {
}So now I have a tag that is designed to be nested inside ScriptBitsTags and provide attributes for them:
package net.thelukes.steven.scriptbits;
//includes
public class ScriptBitsAttributeTag extends BodyTagSupport {
 private String attName = null;
 private String attVal = null;
 //Normal set methods for in tag attribes: <sb:attribute name="..." value="..."/>
 public void setName(String name) {
 attName = name;
 public void setValue(String value) {
 attVal = value;
 public int doEndTag() throws JspException {
 //If value not set yet, it should come from the tag's body
 //<sb:attribute name="...">Some Value</sb:attribute>
 if (attVal == null) {
 if (bodyContent != null && bodyContent.getString() != null) {
 attVal = bodyContent.getString().trim();
 } else {
 //If not found in body, then use empty string for value...
 //(or some appropriate value....)
 attVal = "";
 setAttribute();
 return TagSupport.EVAL_PAGE;
 //Assign the attribute to the this tag's parent.
 private void setAttribute() {
 ScriptBitsTag parentTag =
 (ScriptBitsTag)TagSupport.findAncestorWithClass(this, ScriptBitsTag.class);
 parentTag.setAttributeValue(attName, attVal);
}The TLD has the SlidingFrame tag look like this:
<tag>
 <description>Sliding Menu Window</description>
 <display-name>SlidingWindow</display-name>
 <name>slidingWindow</name>
 <tag-class>net.thelukes.steven.scriptbits.SlidingFrameTag</tag-class>
 <body-content>jsp</body-content>
 
 
</tag>The rest of the tld is pretty standard... In my JSP I then have:
<sb:slidingFrame windowID="sliding_frame">
<%-- Attribute Set for this sliding frame --%>
<sb:attribute name="speed">
 <c:out value="${sessionScope.speedV}"/>
</sb:attribute>
<%-- Content of the sliding frame --%>
Menu Item A 
Menu Item B 
Menu Item C 
<hr/>
Menu Item A 
</sb:slidingFrame>In this case, instead of doing:
<sb:slidingFrame speed="<sb:attribute value='whatever'/>">I nested the attribute tag between sb:slidingFrame's open and close tag. You have to make sure that any work you want to do that depends on the value of speed is done in the doEndTag so as to make sure it occurs after the nested tag does its work.

How can I get the attributes for this tag?

THis is the tag:
<InvoiceQueryRs requestID="1" statusCode="0" statusSeverity="Info" statusMessage="Status OK">
But when I do a nodeType() is returns a "1" which is Element. Shouldn't it return Attribute type?
org.w3c.dom.Document xDoc = xml.parseXML(false);
Element el = xDoc.getDocumentElement(); //Using DOM API
NodeList nl = el.getElementsByTagName("InvoiceQueryRs");
NodeList nl = el.getChildNodes();
for(int c = 0; c < nl.getLength(); c++) {
System.out.println(nl.item(c).getAttributes());
This code returns a "com.ibm.xml.dom.NamedNodeMapImpl@88f03c" for the attributes. I also tried a NamedNodeMap with similar results. Please help if you can!
THanks
Bill

Nevermind, I got it. Thanks.

Apache Sling JCR Resource Resolver doesn't work for the anchor tags which is been rendered through j

Certainly I realized that Apache Sling JCR Resource Resolver doesn't work for the anchor tags which is been rendered through jquery or javascript.
e.g.
In Felix Console , in Apache Sling JCR Resource Resolver configuration I have added following mapping.
/content/myproject/-/
So If any anchor tag is there like <a href="/content/myproject/en.html"> click me </a> then it will be mapped to "/en.html" automatically.
But the problem is there in following scenario.
I have an anchor tag as follows.
<a href="#" id="test"> click here </a>
And I am assigning the href to anchor through JQUERY.
<script>
$("#test").attr("href","/content/myproject/en.html");
</script>
Ideally this should have been mapped to "/en.html".
But it is not mapping to "/en.html". It still shows "/content/myproject/en.html".
How to resolve this.
Thanks,
Sai

In a servlet you have access to the resourceResolver so if you know which attributes contain links then it's relatively easy to apply resourceResolver.map to those links.
Your challenge is clearly how do you know which attributes are links and which aren't. Its is the same challenge that makes parsing the response and rewriting it on the way out difficult - the JSON doesn't have any semantic meaning so how do identify which attributes require rewriting. There really is no good answer ot that question in my experience - all the options have down sides.
Create some convention - all attributes matching this pattern X get mapped before being converted to JSON (could be attributes whose name ends in link, or it could a convention applied to the value of the attribute - if the attribute is a string that starts with /content apply the resource resolver mapping. In this case you have train your developers to follow this convention which is the down side.
Create some configurable list of attribute names that require mapping. This is brittle, requires training and is easy to break.
Implement a client side version of the resource resolver mapping. It wouldn't be as full proof as server side mapping (because that takes into account but you could make it work for simple logic like stripping of /content/site/en. If ou are just trying to solve the simple version of this issue - stripping off the top of the repository path this might be your best option.
Not worry about it and set up Apache 301 redirects that catch any long URLs and redirect them to short URLs (so configure apache to look for any URL matching /content/site/en and strip off /content/site/en and do a 301 redirect to the shortened URL. You end up with a lot of extra HTTP request because of all the 301s but it would work (I wouldn't recommend this option - but it is possible).

Click attribute in textFlow anchor tag in Flash Builder 4

Hi folks,
At first congratulation to you, Adobe and Flex team for Adobe Flash Builder 4 & flex 4 SDK final release...
then, I have a click attribute in my textFlow anchor tag, just like this:
<fx:Script>
 <![CDATA[
 import mx.controls.Alert;
 public function func():void{
 Alert.show("hello!");
 ]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:RichEditableText x="50" y="50" editable="false" id="RET" >
 <s:TextFlow>
 <s:a href='http://www.adobe.com' click='func()'>
 <s:img source='adobe.jpg' width='50' height='50' />
 </s:a>
 </s:TextFlow>
</s:RichEditableText>
When I run the project, everything's allright; and after click on my image, I have adobe site in new window, and also have my popup alert window with "Hello!" text...
But the Problem is another thing. I want to give this textFlow content from one webservice and put it in a string var then bind it to my RichEditableText. I receive it from webservice, put it in the string, and then bind this string to textFlow attribute of my RichEditableText obj with simple function... after running my project, I can see the content, and when I click on my image, I have adobe site in new window, again. but my function does not call!
What is the problem?! the code is something like this (of course without webservice codes!):
<fx:Script>
 <![CDATA[
 import flashx.textLayout.conversion.TextConverter;
 import mx.controls.Alert;
 public function func():void{
 Alert.show("hello!");
 internal var str:String;
 public function func2():void{
 str = "<TextFlow xmlns='http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008' paddingRight='5'>"+
 "<a href='http://www.adobe.com' click='func();'><img source='adobe.jpg' width='50' height='50' /></a>"+
 "</TextFlow>";
 RET.textFlow= TextConverter.importToFlow(str, TextConverter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT);
 ]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:RichEditableText x="50" y="50" editable="false" id="RET" />

Listening for a FlowElementMouseEvent.CLICK event will be beneficial.
In your webservice feed (Textflow), have a tag such as:
<a href="event:adobe.jpg">Click here to view Adobe's logo!</a>
Then in your ActionScript code, listen for any FlowElementMouseEvent.CLICK events from your textFlow instance.
textFlow.addEventListener(FlowElementMouseEvent.CLICK,
onLinkHandler);
Next, declare onLinkHandler:
 * In the XML there are href tag which has 'event:' prefix to the value. This prefix
 * allows method calls.
 private function onLinkHandler(event:FlowElementMouseEvent):void
 //extract the number value from the string.
 var uri:String = LinkElement(event.flowElement).href.split(":")[1];
 trace(uri);//outputs: adobe.jpg

Parse THIS!!! XML can't contain HTML (anchor tags)????

Is there a way to parse XML that has HTML tags and special characters within it?
 
I've been searching for days for a solution with no joy.
 
The Oracle scripts I wrote below work fine as long as only alphanumeric characters are in the XML doc.
 
Here's what I'm doing...I'm page scraping several dynamic websites using ColdFusion. I remove all the unneeded HTML...and replace the remaining HTML with XML tags.
 
I then want to pass this XML (see below) variable (cfxml) to Oracle so it can be parsed and loaded into the database. If I remove the anchor tags and the CDATA tags...the code works fine....but I want the anchor tags loaded into my table.
 
Anyone have any suggestions....preferably a solution so I can stop pulling my damn hair out.
 
 
Oracle Scripts 
 
create or replace procedure LoadXML (cfxml in varchar) AS
 
begin 
 insert into JOBS (xmldoc) values (xmltype.createxml(cfxml)); 
end;
 
create or replace trigger job_bifert as 
begin 
if (:new.xmldoc is null) then 
return; 
end if; 
select 
xmltype.getstringval(:new.xmldoc.extract('/recordset/row/title/text()')), 
xmltype.getstringval(:new.xmldoc.extract('/recordset/row/company/text()')), 
 xmltype.getstringval(:new.xmldoc.extract('/recordset/row/location/text()')) 
into :new.title, :new.company, :new.location 
from dual; 
end;

Hi:
You can parse HTML tags inside the Database using JTidy library.
Load JTidy to the sys schema using loadjava with grant to public or into your own schema.
The you can parse HTML tags in a CDATA section creating a Tidy parser. Look at this code as example, its part of DBPrism CMS XForms actions and it process an HTMLArea HTTP Post action. See the method updateContent(CLOB post_xml):
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/dbprism/cms-2.1/src/com/prism/cms/frontend/PageActions.java?rev=1.5&view=auto
The CLOB arguments is an XML XForm instance document, the content node has the HTML tags to be parsed wrapped by CDATA tags:
So the String content are the HTML tags.
Once the document is parsed by JTidy it is converted to a valid XML and it will be accepted by the XMLType instance.
Best regards, Marcelo.

Html text anchor tag uses the whole line

Here's one. When I pull in html formatted text into a text
field and set the paragraph to align right, the whole line is set
as a link.
Is there anyway to make it so the link is not made for the
whole line?
Example:
<a href="link">Link
Text</a>
Any help would be appreciated.
Wally

TIm,
Thanks for doing that. I came up with the same results. Since
I'm loading everything from external files, I wanted to shy away
from escaping all those characters. But, you definately helped me
come up with a solution.
I took some of my text links and dropped them all into a test
movie I had been working with and had accidently left the
<title> tag in the head, which shows up in the html. Needless
to say, the text "untitled document" did NOT have the hyperlink
applied to it.
So I got to thinking, "What if I put text before and after
the anchor tag." And sure enough. NO HYPER LINK on the new text. So
then I got to thinking, "Hmm. Maybe I'll just put a character in
before and after the hyperlink and set it's color to white so it
won't show up."
Sure enough it worked. So, that's my fix/workaround. If you
have a hyperlink that is aligned right and it shows up on the whole
line, put a character before and after the hyperlink and make it's
color the same as the background.
It worked, but
HELLO ADOBE / FLASH TEAM!!! Please fix the bug and implement
HTML 4.0 or above so we don't have to come up with these crazy
workarounds,
please.
Thanks everybody who helped out on this. Great community!

Netui: anchor tag with target attribute.

I am using the netui:anchor tag inside an iframe to post to an action. But the
resulting page is displayed within the iframe. Will the target attribute of the
netui:anchor tag help solve the problem. What is a valid value of the target
attribute.
thanks,
Shankar

does the action have a formSubmit = true? If not then your modal dialog should be shown via the onclick and you have to javascript the link click (based on your modal dialog options)
If you do have a formSubmit=true, then you'd have the onclick show the modal dialog and you would have to write additional javascript to submit the form (Along with setting its action)

deepak

Method call in html anchor tag

I have read about how to place a hyperlink in JTable cell in other threads. i have a method called Details() which has a mouse pressed event which responds on left click on the first column cells of my JTable. then i get the column and row positions and open up a JDialog.
so Now i have to show the first column cells as hyperlinks(underlined and handcursor on visit).
i have done something like this,
setText( "<html><a href=\"\">" + (String)(value==null?"":value ) +"</a></html>"); this makes the cell values blue colored as well as underlined as soon as the table is loaded.
how can i make it behave like a hyperlink ? that is colored, underlined and handcursor only when mouse is placed on it.
Can i have the call to Details() method inside the anchor tag which i have shown above?
Thanks,

Well what do you know, I was doing everything correctly.

Getting this message when I do Edit Web Layout for a view in Siebel tools 7.8.2 "Unterminated value for attribute '' in XML tag ''.(SBL-UIF-00265)"...Anyone have any idea why I am getting this message?

Thanks Joseph,
Actually I looked at the Refer ID 1280569.1 before also, some how I could not figured it out the exact location as I was searching for two "(double quotes).
Today I tried again and finally I found out the culprit. In my case actually there was no two double quotes, instead the " (double quote) was missing.
Thanks again.

Problem in onClick attribute of the netui:anchor tag

Hi,
I have a String object to be passed to the javascript function with onClick attribute.
eg: <%String st = new String("helo");%>
<netui:anchor action="display" onClick="display()">
I want to pass the object st to the java script so that I can do some validations. how can I do that. If I say,
onClick="display('<%=st%>')" it is not working. can you please suggest me a solution.
Regards,
Satish.

I haven't tried this with the netui:anchor tag, but it works with the netui:button tag.
<%
String onCl = "display('" + st + "')";
%>
<netui:anchor action="display" onClick="<%=onCl%>">
Apparently, you can place a scriptlet inside the onClick attribute, but you cannot intermingle the scriptlet with plain text.
Also, the onclick attribute appears not to support XScript ({request.whatever}). I find that weird.
