HTML Encoding of output with special language characters ie. Umlaut

Greetings,
Application: Crystal Reports XI RDC Runtime engine.
Output format with error: HTML
Sample Data row passed as a recordset to crystal by MS SQL Server.
lahenduse tähtaja testimine;;High;Top;C;1;01/01/2010;05/04/2010;05/04/2010
HTML encoding:
lahenduse t?¤htaja testimine
When the output of PDF or Excel are selected charaters with umlauts, tilds, etcu2026 over the letters are displaying correctly.
When the output is HTML the encoding is messed up.
Has there been a fix for this runtime engine regarding this issue?

Ludek,
The following link http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crXI_rdc_merge_modules.zip would be the correct update pack link I am looking for.
http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/runtime.asp
As it is the runtime engine, not the crystal developer that is having the problem.
For completeness I have upgraded my developer CR XI Release 1 to SP4.

I will post again later today, once all the upgrading has been completed.

XML parser fails to convert html encoded text nodes

Under the strain of large documents this defect rears its ugly head more often. While parsing a text node containing html encoded chars i.e. < > &; etc...
The parser will seemingly forget to change the chars at random, 99.9% of the time everything is ok and the proper conversions take place:
< -> <
> -> >
&; -> &
Once an error occurs it is reproducible until the text node is changed ( values and/or order ) then it is a crapshoot again.
These tests were done using the default UTF-8 encoding, here is the exception thrown by the parser along with a portion of the text node before and after the first parsing.
Let me be clear, the parser actually succeeds the first time but the transformation of the HTML encoded pieces possibly fails. It is on the parsing of the text node value as its own document that the parser fails.
Error 0 : Error parsing XML string! Line :: 1, Column :: 65674

HTML Encoding issue

I'm calling a web sevice that needs to pass an HTML encoded string. So, I encoded the string using cl_http_utility=>escape_html and it looks OK in the debugger (i.e. "<"). However, the web service throws an error and when I look at the ICM logs I see "&lt;" instead of "<". The web service does not like the "&". If I reformat the string and put it into SOAP UI, it works fine. Is there a profile parameter I can set to prevent this from happening?
Thank you,
Edited by: Tony Raimo on Mar 1, 2011 10:49 PM

the fix was to not call cl_http_utility=>escape_html in the first place. the ICM automatically escapes the string.

Extended lookup field results in HTML encoded string in list view

Hello again,
I have built an extended lookup field to provide picker support. For this I have custom field type and custom field control. Field type looks like this:
<FieldType>
<Field Name="TypeName">LookupWithPicker</Field>
<Field Name="ParentType">Lookup</Field>
<Field Name="TypeDisplayName">$Resources:FieldDescriptions, LookupWithPickerDisplayName</Field>
<Field Name="TypeShortDescription">$Resources:FieldDescriptions, LookupWithPickerTypeShortDescription</Field>
<Field Name="UserCreatable">TRUE</Field>
<Field Name="FieldTypeClass">Sharepoint.Fields.Types.LookupWithPicker, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$</Field>
<PropertySchema>
<Fields>
<Field Name="LookupList" Type="Text" DisplayName="Lookup List Id" MaxLength="36" DisplaySize="36" Hidden="TRUE" />
<Field Name="LookupField" Type="Text" DisplayName="Lookup Field Name" MaxLength="36" DisplaySize="36" Hidden="TRUE" />
<Field Name="LookupContentType" Type="Text" DisplayName="Lookup Content Type Id" MaxLength="255" DisplaySize="255" Hidden="TRUE" />
</Fields>
</PropertySchema>
</FieldType>
public class LookupWithPicker : SPFieldLookup
#region Constructors
public LookupWithPicker(SPFieldCollection fields, string fieldName)
: base(fields, fieldName)
public LookupWithPicker(SPFieldCollection fields, string typeName, string displayName)
: base(fields, typeName, displayName)
#endregion
#region Public properties
public override BaseFieldControl FieldRenderingControl
get
LookupWithPickerFieldControl ctrl = new LookupWithPickerFieldControl(this);
ctrl.FieldName = InternalName;
return ctrl;
#endregion
At this point everything works as expected except for the list view part:
I wonder why it's HTML encoded? Do I need to provide custom XSL too? I find it a bit confusing when display form renders this field properly without any customization required.

Hi,
Can you try to put the following code under the </PropertySchema>:
<RenderPattern Name="DisplayPattern">
<Column HTMLEncode="FALSE" />
</RenderPattern>
Please remember to indicate if your question/comment has been answered or is helpful.

HTML encoding of XML tags

Hi ,
I am using openSAML and passing an XML document as a string to the SAMLAttribute.
But when i see in the logs, the XML tags like "<" , ">" are being displayed as &lt and &gt. I don't want this HTML encoding to happen ... I don't know why this is happening ?
Please advise. Yours help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure but I think you need to have double quotes.

HTML encoding for security reasons

For some reason classic html encoding method of java does not encode character '
As far as I know this maybe a security problem, that makes application vulnerable to XSS. Is there a reason why character ' is not encoded?

Maybe it a automatic respond for new setup (ads, in case you're not informed about iCloud).
Anyway, I don't really know.

HTML Encoding in BSP

Hello,
i have a <htmlb:inputField>. The field input is used for generating a url. Now i need a html-encoding for this input.
If input-fields contains for example value "Teststraße" it should be encoded into "Teststra%C3%9Fe".
Is there any function module for this encoding?
Regards
Marco

Hi Meerbaum
 If you want the url encoded, may be this will help you.
CALL METHOD cl_bsp_runtime=>construct_bsp_url
 EXPORTING
 in_application = 'GBSPUTILS'
 in_page = 'inputhelp.do'
 in_parameters = lt_params[]
 IMPORTING
 out_local_url = lv_iframe_url
 The lt_params[] table contains the NAME and VALUE fields,
the value will be encoded directly.

HTML encoding with JTextPane

hello,
I'm using JTexPane to edit rich text in my application.

and I create a new document for editing with
pane.setDocument(pane.getEditorKit().createDefaultDocument());
but when I enter text in the pane with accent like "j'ai mang� une pomme" , the method pane.getText() return my html document encoded with ISO-10646 aka Unicode where the "�" is é
I try to create the editorKit for the ContentType "text/html; charset=UTF-8" but it doesn't work.
How can I change the encoding to UTF-8 ?
Please help me ...

hello,
I know your problem (i'm french), but i don't know how to resolve it easily.
you can get the HTML code by using
pane.getText();and change manually characters...

WebDB - Dynamic Pages SVG/HTML Encoding Help

I have been playing around with WebDB 2.2
to generate an SVG document from a table with X/Y locations
in columns.
I can generate the SVG content fine but when WebDB sends it to
my browser (IE 5.5) it is displayed as XML rather than as an SVG document.
Now I think that the problem is that the document does not have an SVG extension
and WebDB is typing the document as HTML. When I check the properties of the
document (right mouse click and select properties), Windows tells me the type of the
document is HTML. If I File>Save the document with an SVG extension and then open it
in IE I get my map.
I can't see how to force WebDB to change the document type.
Can anyone help me?
I hope I am making sense :-)
Simon

Have you specified any value (greater than 0) in the Portlet expires in ... minutes field ?
If you have, then I guess your dynamic page is getting cached.
Before submitting the form, do a right click on the browser page and view the page source.
What does the <form> tag look like ?
Does it still show the old procedure name ?

Flash Player 10 removes HTML encoding in CDATA when parsing XML

I have an application that was written with Flash Professional 8/AS2 and it parses XML for rendering dynamic media content. The XML pulls text with HTML markup out of CDATA sections and places them into an html enabled text field. Everything has worked wonderfully until Flash Player 10.
Now, if we use html escape characters for greater than or less than symbols, they are being decoded by the xml parser.
Here's my example CDATA section:
Here we go: This <node> <works>
when I grab its value using nodeValue or toString, the results are different from Flash Player 9 to 10. Here's what I'm getting:
node.nodeValue (Flash Player 9):
Here we go: This <node> <works>
node.nodeValue (Flash Player 10):
Here we go: This <node> <works>
node.toString (Flash Player 9):
Here we go: This <node> <works>
node.toString (Flash Player 10):
Here we go: This <node> <works>
In Flash 10, if I escape the ampersand, it will work, but this doesn't work in 9. for example, the following works in 10:
<![CDATA[Here we go: This &#60;node&#62; &lt;works&gt;]]>
This all happens before I assign it to a text field. How do I keep the parser from destroying my escaped characters in Flash 10? Do I just need to drop support for Flash Player 9 and go for what works in 10, or is there a solution for both?

I'm not an action script programmer. I'm just trying to fix some code written like 3 years ago. So I think I am wrong about where this problem is coming from.
The original developer actually set up a class to load a remote xml file via sendAndLoad on a LoadVars object. It passes an object with an onData delegate set that passes the event object to an xml parsing method.
the parsing method looks like this:
 private function parseXml(eventObj:Object){
 if(eventObj != undefined)
 try
 //ExternalInterface.call("logMessage", eventObj.toString());
 _xmlDoc.parseXML(eventObj.toString());
 _xmlDoc.loaded = true;
 _xmlDoc.onLoad(true);
 catch(ex)
 _xmlDoc.onLoad(false);
 else
 _xmlDoc.onLoad(false);
I added the ExternalInterface call so that I could log the stuff out in javascript (since I'm not sure how to debug this app).
_xmlDoc is defined as: private var _xmlDoc:XML;
The eventObj receives the xml string and then passes it to the parseXML thing. Here's the odd part. In Flash Player 10, if I comment out my ExternalInterface call, the xml string has the escaped character decoded before it gets to the parser.
However, if I uncomment my ExternalInterface call, it logs the escaped strings as i would expect, but the parser gets the correct formatting this time! Suddenly it all works.
I really wish I had an AS2 programmer on campus still....

HTML Encoding in JSP

I want to display the output in a JSP page as per the data entered in a form in another JSP page.
I am able to do this; however, if HTML tags are used, then I want them to be treated as literals.
Further, I want to preserve the line spaces/new lines while displaying the output. By default, the browser justs treats the output as HTML.
Pls. advise.

How to remove HTML encoding from csv file using powershell

Hi guys i am exporting data from a sharepoint list using powershell which works fine. My problem is that some of the fields contain HTML mark up. Is there a way to remove all of the html mark up from the array before writing it to csv ?
I have tried playing about with System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode but with no luck the code runs but no html is removed.
Below is a sample of my script.
Set-Variable HOME $env:USERPROFILE -Force
(Get-PSProvider FileSystem).Home = $HOME
if(-not(Get-PSSnapin | where { $_.Name -eq "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}))
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell;
# imports assembly needed for url stuff to do
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Web
$SPWeb = Get-SPWeb "http://site url"
$SPList = $SPWeb.Lists["List Name"]
$exportlist = @()
$SPList.Items | foreach {
$obj = New-Object PSObject -Property @{
"Employee full name" = $_["EMPLOYEEFNAME"]
"Employee login name" = $_["EMPLOYEENAME"]
"Department Name" = $_["DEPARTMENT"]
System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode("OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_0") = $_["F1_S4a_OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_0"]
"OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_1" = $_["F1_S4a_OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_1"]
"OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_2" = $_["F1_S4a_OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_2"]
"OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_3" = $_["F1_S4a_OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_3"]
"OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_4" = $_["F1_S4a_OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_4"]
"OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_5" = $_["F1_S4a_OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_5"]
"OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_6" = $_["F1_S4a_OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_6"]
"OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_7" = $_["F1_S4a_OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_7"]
$exportlist += $obj
$exportlist | select "Employee full name", "Employee login name", "Department Name", "OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_0", "OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_1", "OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_2", "OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_3", "OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_4", "OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_5", "OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_6", "OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_7" | Export-Csv ~/Export.csv -noType
$SPWeb.Dispose()
any help would be much appreciated.

Should have googled before posting !
"OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_0" = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPHttpUtility]::ConvertSimpleHtmlToText($_["F1_S4a_OBJECTIVESTOBEACHIEVED_0"],-1) -replace '\s+', ' '
Clears all the additional white space. As always jrv you
have saved the day, many thanks for all the help.

Is it possible to disable auto html encoding on strings?

I am storing URL references to detail datasets in the master
dataset.
Everthing works well when there is only one parameter (i.e.
service.php?param=value).
But when more that one parameter is required, Spry
automatically htmlencodes it.
It converts
service.php?param1=value1&param2=value2
to
service.php?param1=value1&param2=value2
which does not work.
I've tried to escape the '&' a number of ways.
It would be nice if there was a way to simply do a
setColumType("url", "url");

You hit the nail on the head!
using modes would apply the mode setting to each string type
in the record. I want to preserve encoding for all string, except
the url. Spry.Utils.decodeEntities() on a PostLoad is the best
answer, but requires the most work. The reference you gave me
pointed out a temporary fix that reverts back to the deprecated
treatment of strings. Because my url fields are CDATA encapsulated,
the deprecated method would not touch it.
So a tempory and quick fix it to use the option
entityEncodeStrings:-1 when creating the XMLDataSet. This reverts
back to the deprecated string treatment for CDATA encapsulated
string data.
I think the deprecated method makes more sense. If I don't
want the string modified, CDATA it. It is a more efficient
approach. With the new method, I have to loop through each record
to decode. This stuff is already slow. Having to loop through data,
post load, slows it down even more.
Thanks for pointing me to the answer!
