[mapserver-users] About html code inside query attribute responses

[Manuel Aymerich]

Thanks Steve.

 

As you already pointed out [item name=”name” escape=”none”] behaves exactly
as [name_raw], which in my case translates html tags from <
> to <br&gt .
Not a really coherent behavior, is it?

What you describe is basically correct. Except, there is no code in place to
translate html elements like you mention with [attribute item name_raw].
That should be the correct method of telling MapServer not to touch the
contents of an attribute at all. You could also try:

 

  [item name=”name” escape=”none”]

 

That should generate the same output as [name_raw] and is the preferred way
of doing this sort of thing.

Subject: [mapserver-users] About html code inside query attribute responses

 

Hi,

 

I’ve prepared WMS getFeautreInfo queries so that mapserver’s template
receives pure html attributes (containing the <br> tag for example). I would
like to show this html code as it is. So that it integrates with the
existing html header, footer and the rest of the template inside mapservers
response, hoping that at the frontend the html response could be interpreted
as a whole. However, the html stored data is shown either as escaped html or
as url encoded data. I’ver read mapserver documentation but I had not
success while implementing each possible solution:

 

If I try:

 

[attribute name] : I get escaped html (<br> is translated into <br>)

[attrribute name_esc]: I get url encdes text (<br> is translated into
%3Cbr%2F%3)

[attribute item name_raw]: I get something in between but not pure html
(<br> is translated into \n).

 

Mapserver documentation says “
By default the attributes are encoded
especially for HTML representation” but I now disagree.

 

Any ideas about what’s happening here? Any workaround solutions?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Manuel Aymerich
