I'm trying to generate HTML using a SAX TransformHandle r. The problem
I'm having is related to the xalan transformer using the shorthand
notation when it writes out an empty textarea tag. My code works fine
when xalan.jar is not in my classpath. But when xalan.jar is in the
classpath, the generated html incorrectly uses the shorthand notation
for writing out an empty textarea tag.
Correct output:
C:\test>java Test
com.sun.org.apa che.xalan.inter nal.xsltc.trax. TransformerImpl
<html>
<body>
<textarea></textarea>GoodBy e</body>
</html>
Incorrect output:
C:\test>java -classpath .;/tomcat5/common/lib/xalan.jar Test
org.apache.xala n.transformer.T ransformerIdent ityImpl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html>
<body>
<textarea/>GoodBye</body>
</html>
As you can see from the above example, when xalan is involved, the
generated output results in HTML that confuses IE. Is there a way to
force xalan into NOT using the short hand notation for the textarea
tag?
Here's the source code of my program:
public static void main( String [] args )
{
try {
// prepare the output transform handler
SAXTransformerF actory tf =
(SAXTransformer Factory) TransformerFact ory.newInstance ();
TransformerHand ler transformerHand ler =
tf.newTransform erHandler();
Transformer serializer = transformerHand ler.getTransfor mer();
System.out.prin tln( serializer.getC lass().getName( ) );
serializer.setO utputProperty(O utputKeys.ENCOD ING, "UTF-8");
serializer.setO utputProperty(O utputKeys.INDEN T, "yes");
transformerHand ler.setResult( new StreamResult( System.out ) );
transformerHand ler.startDocume nt();
Attributes noAtts = new AttributesImpl( );
transformerHand ler.startElemen t("", "", "html", noAtts );
transformerHand ler.startElemen t("", "", "body", noAtts );
transformerHand ler.startElemen t(
"", "", "textarea", noAtts );
transformerHand ler.endElement( "", "", "textarea" );
String msg = "GoodBye" ;
transformerHand ler.characters( msg.toCharArray (),
0, msg.length() );
transformerHand ler.endElement( "", "", "body" );
transformerHand ler.endElement( "", "", "html" );
transformerHand ler.endDocument ();
}
catch ( Exception e ) {
e.printStackTra ce();
}
}

I'm still looking for an answer to this one. My opinion on the matter
is that <textarea/> should be considered perfectly legal xhtml.
However, IE 6.0, isn't smart enough to handle it. That's why I was
looking for a possible work around that doesn't involve forcing a space
between the start and end of the element.

Exactly, both <textarea></textarea> and <textarea/> are equivalent
and valid xhtml.
Couldn't you just leave out the textarea at all?

another idea: let your xhtml validate by the w3c validator.
if it is not valid xhtml then the browser will switch to
quirks-mode (see FAQ at http://www.quirksmode.org/)

1. The subject contains HTMLSerializer. The serializer for _HTML_ should
not create <textarea/>.
2. According to the XML spec you should only use the empty element
notation for elements that are empty by definition, which textarea is not.
However, IE 6.0, isn't smart enough to handle it.
IE 6.0 does not know XHTML.

It's legal as XML, but violates the notorious Appendix C of XHTML.
So it's not legal to serve on the Web as "text/html".
However, IE 6.0, isn't smart enough to handle it.
Indeed. But if you serve it as text/html then XML rules don't apply,
so IE is within its rights not treating <foo/> as <foo></foo>.
That's why I was looking for a possible work around that doesn't involve forcing a space
between the start and end of the element. http://apache.webthing.com/mod_xhtml/

Hi All,
I am planning to use Xalan to transform XML data by applying xls

Here tricky part is, Xalan provides several C++ APIs, which are very
much useful if our requirement is just inputting a file and getting a
file. Or giving a xerces dom and get a new xerces dom.
I would like to know whether any of you tried with their own custom

I am trying to upgrade an application that was previously running on

I have worked out the build issues and now the application compiles

I recently downloaded the xalan-c source code in

I followed the instructions from the apache site on how to build it (I
already have xerces downloaded and compiled), however, I'm getting
quite a few compile errors. I downloaded and compiled xerces 2.6.0 and
I downloaded xalan 1.9.0.
