RE: carriage returns in a textarea

FYI,

To fix this I've made the following modification to 
org.chiba.adapter.web.HttpRequestHandler.java
If anyone has a better idea please let me know. Thanks

/**
 * @param name
 * @throws XFormsException
 */
protected void handleData(String name, String[] values)
        throws XFormsException {
    if (name.startsWith(getDataPrefix())) {
        String id = name.substring(getDataPrefix().length());

        // assemble new control value
        String newValue;

        if (values.length > 1) {
            StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer(values[0]);

            for (int i = 1; i < values.length; i++) {
                buffer.append(" ").append(values[i]);
            }
// added call to new method
            newValue = trim( buffer.toString() );
        } else {
// added call to new method
            newValue = trim( values[0] );
        }
        this.chibaBean.updateControlValue(id, newValue);
    }
}
// add new method
protected String trim( String value )  {
    if( value != null && value.length() > 0 )
    {
        value = value.replaceAll( "\r\n", "\r"  );
        value = value.trim();
    }
    return value;
}

Subject: carriage returns in a textarea


Hello,

Has anyone else noticed this problem with Internet Explorer (IE) and the Chiba 
Servlet engine?

If you enter this text into a textarea
"abc
123"

the chiba:data element will be set to 
"abc&#13;
123"

When the textarea is rerendered, IE will render this as two carriage returns 
instead of one. Mozilla renders one carriage return. In IE, every submit will 
cause the carriage returns to double up. I think the solution is to set the 
chiba:data element to "abc&#13;123" instead of the above but I can't seem to 
locate where this happens in Chiba.

Any ideas? I'll keep digging.

Thanks,
William Boyd
