Hi Friends, I have some problem here. I am using Asp.net 2.0 but that is not relevant to my Question. I have a <div> tag. div id="dvAArea" runat="server"></div |

and an HiddenField input type="hidden" runat="server" id="hidAArea" / on click of a button i have a function function CopyHTML() { document.getElementById('<%= hidAArea.ClientID %>').value = MakeXMLParseable(document.getElementById('<%= dvAArea.ClientID %>').innerHTML); |
your server to do that is your reponsibility. Questions relating to
server-side programming should be asked in a community forum that
supports your chosen server technology.
As far as I can tell, your div element doesn't have any child nodes,
so its innerHTML property will be an empty string. Where are the
problematic quotes?

Internet Explorer as it removes the "double quotes" from my rendered
html.
i am just looking for a way so that the double quotes are not removed
when innerHTML is called in Internet Explorer (mozilla works fine).

<p onclick="alert(this.innerHTML);">get "innerHTML"</p>
IE 6 shows:
get "innerHTML"
so your issue is not with the innerHTML property itself.

Hi,
if i replace that string with this string then there are no double
quotes...
<p onclick="alert(this.innerHTML);"><font class="AInput">3434</font></
p>
it surprisingly removes the double quotes.

a) it has little if anything to do with javascript.
b) I don't know what it actually has to do with. You keep mentioning double
quotes and their removal but you fail to mention where they are exactly
removed from.
In any case consider "e;

to simplify i have made a demo program.
<p onclick="alert(this.innerHTML);"><font class="AInput">3434</font></
p>
it surprisingly removes the double quotes in IE6.
I need that when onclick is fired i should also get double quotes.
which means...
i need <font class="AInput">3434</font> output
instead of
<font class=AInput>3434</font> as output.

innerHTML. IE chose to implement it slightly differently than
FireFox. If you need to create an XML document with innerHTML, you
will have to normalize it yourself. You would be better off writing a
wrapper for innerHTML as there are more issues to deal with than
unquoted attribute values.

only required where the value has certain characters:
"In certain cases, authors may specify the value of an attribute
without any quotation marks. The attribute value may only
contain letters (a-z and A-Z), digits (0-9), hyphens (ASCII
decimal 45), periods (ASCII decimal 46), underscores (ASCII
decimal 95), and colons (ASCII decimal 58). We recommend using
quotation marks even when it is possible to eliminate them."
<URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.2 >
I guess whoever implemented innerHTML in IE decided to remove them
where they aren't required.
As David said, there is no public standard for innerHTML and what
there is at MSDN is scant - it does not say that it returns exactly
the original source. So you are left to parse the value yourself and
insert quotes as appropriate. You should also convert attribute names
to lower case, as some browsers will report them in uppercase.
I think the whole idea of using innerHTML as the source of valid XML
markup is flawed.
