5 "&amp" converted to "&" in preselector override regex - ID: 1023929

Last Update: Comment added ( karl-ia )

Details:

When trying to add the string "&amp" (without the HTML-entity-
ending ";")to a regular expression in a Preselector override, the
"&amp" gets quietly converted to a single "&" character.

Multiple "&amp"s are converted into multiple "&"s.

Date: 2005-03-02 03:09 Sender: gojomo Logged In: YES user_id=144912 Really fixed now (hadn't committed previously).
Date: 2005-02-12 00:01 Sender: gojomo Logged In: YES user_id=144912 It is a browser issue -- the '&amp' gets up to the crawler OK, but then when sent back down, is rendered as '&'. (You can look in the source and see the original '&amp'.) So far, so good. Real problem arises if any other setting is changed, and plain '&' is not corrected to '&amp' before submission. Then, rendered '&' clobbers crawler-side '&amp'. (Further complication: '&ampamp' is not rendered in browser as '&amp' -- perhaps it only presumes the ';' if at the end of a value?) Sufficient fix appears to be converting all '&' in input-field values to '&' before returning to browser. Commit comment: Fix for [ 1023929 ] "&amp" converted to "&" in preselector override regex * jobconfigure.jsp patch '&' to '&' in strings destined to be displayed as input-field values
