Error with WText links?
Added by Andres Jaimes about 12 years ago
Hello,
I have created a list of links using a WContainerWidget (as ul) and WText's (as li's). The code I use to generate them is the following:
content->addWidget(new WText("<h2>Previous Events</h2>"));
ul = new WContainerWidget(content);
ul->setList(true, false);
result = GlobalDao::selectInactiveEvents();
for (std::vector<AppModel::EventListItem>::const_iterator it = result->begin(); it != result->end(); it++) {
WContainerWidget* li = new WContainerWidget(ul);
li->addWidget(new WText("<a href=\"?id=" + it->get<0>() + "\">" + it->get<1>() + "</a>"));
}
However, from time to time the "" text is replaced by "<a>" breaking some links. It does not seem to have a pattern, but I'm attaching an image so you can see what is happening...
Would you please help me?
Thanks...

Changing WText to use Wt::XHTMLUnsafeText fixed the problem. I'll take a look at the source code to see why this is happening...
Thanks...

Hey,
S&S is not valid HTML (it needs to be S&S. Wt converts this to plain text when it fails to validate (and XSS parse) the fragment.
So you need to Utils::htmlEncode() the it->get<1>() value. Why are you not using a WAnchor instead however ?
