probem with mediatype="text/html" when data is an empty div element

 

Hi,

 

When I use output with the mediatype="text/html" attribute and the data is an empty div element I get the error Cannot parse value as text/html.

But I try to output the same div except with some content it works OK. Is this a bug ?

 

  The attached xhtml shows the problem.

 

regards

  Doug Young

Doug,

The HTML parsing is done with JTidy, which is very tolerant, but
doesn't seem to handle XHTML very well.

a) In the case where you have <xhtml:div>X</xhtml:div>, JTidy ignores
the div but recognizes the X. So in the end you end up with just X.
b) In the case where you have just <xhtml:div></xhtml:div>, JTidy
doesn't recognize anything and because of that our code chokes.

By extension to (a), it would make sense to display nothing in (b)
instead of throwing an exception. I changed our code to do that, so
you won't have an exception in this case anymore.

Here is the corresponding bug, which is now fixed:
