sType:html - Issue with \r \n ?

Christian Bonato

Hi Allan,

Invisible chars in a html string passed to a row break everything.

Since I often need to put large chunks of html into aaData, would it be possible to have a function that pre-processes the html string and get rid of all invisible chars so that it remains human-readable ?


This breaks JQuery :

[code]
"


..."
[/code]


This does not :

[code]
"..."
[/code]

I don't quite understand I'm afraid. In what way does your code block "break jQuery"? Bare in mind that multi-line strings aren't really supported in Javascript - you can have \r and \n in a string sure, but you can't do something like this:

[code]
var a = "
whatever
";
[/code]

Hi Allan,

You're right about multi-line strings aren't really supported in Javascript.

I inject a lot of HTML in my table's td's, so the html is really hard to wrok with without line breaks.

I ended up creating a big php string var, with lone breaks for code readability, and then clean it before passing it in aaData with :

[code]
$str = str_replace(CHR(10),"",$str);
$str = str_replace(CHR(13),"",$str);
$str = str_replace(CHR(9),"",$str);
[/code]
