Problems processing javascript in nightly build

Hi Guys,

In an attempt to get Orbeon working for FF3 I downloaded the latest
nightly build (3.6.0.200806250537)

I've found it has problems processing my own javascript.

Specifically, if my html contains this:

<xhtml:input onkeydown="if (true == true) { myFun('foo'); }"/>

I get:

XPath syntax error at char 32 on line -1 in {...rue == true) {
myFun('foo')...}:
Unknown system function myFun()

If i replace the line above with
<xhtml:input onkeydown="myFun('bar');"/>
It works fine.

Attached is a simple test that fails in the sandbox.

Chris

Chris,

That's because AVTs on XHTML attributes are being interpreted. This
causes the "{" and "}" to be handled by the XForms engine.

You can either:

1. Turn off host languages AVTs in properties.xml
2. Escape the brackets with "{{" and "}}"
