Ampersand Bug inside <a> tag

Reply Quote

When I create the following structure <a href="test.html?test1=1&test2=2">test</a> and then switch from HTML mode to normal and back to HTML mode, the resulting html looks like that: <a href="test.html?test1=1&test2=2">test</a>

Is it possible not to replace "&" characters with "&" inside <a> structure?

I have used http://cutesoft.net/example/general.aspx to test it.

This is not a bug.

Editor.UseSimpleAmpersand Property

W3C recommend that all '&' in query strings be converted to & This is the only way to get a piece of HTML validated. The reason is that & is the start of an HTML entity, such as £

So this:

            

        <a href="page.aspx?var1=one&amp;var2=two">link</a> 

is valid, whereas: 

        <a href="page.aspx?var1=one&var2=two">link</a> 

isn't.

If you still want to use simple Ampersand in query strings, you can set this property to true. if you want to retrieve the CuteEditor HTML content in XHTML format, the 'UseSimpleAmpersand' property will be ignored.
