Description

< cannot be used in node attribute. If < is supplied, the node tag is generated in an invalid form.

  • ignite-ui version: 19.2.25
  • browser: any

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the attached sample
  2. Observe the tree
  3. Inspect the top level node which contains <
    Line 41
    var xmlDoc = '<OrgChart Name="&lt;All employees">' +

Result

The top level node is not visible. And the generated tag is <all employees<="" a=""></all>.
image

Expected result

The top level node is rendered correctly and is visible. And the generated tag should be something like <a href="#" target="_self" class="ui-corner-all">&lt;All employees</a>.

Attachments

@ymita This is XML specific and not reproducible with JSON binding.
In order for this to work, you can change the format so there is an empty space after the < XML entity replacement - like this " &lt; "

In short, replace:
"&lt;All employees" with
" &lt; All employees" OR even
"&lt; All employees"

@IvayloG
Thank you for your suggestion.
The customer wonders which character cannot be contained in xml data. For example, &gt; can be supplied while &lt; cannot be. Is this considered a limitation of igTree?

I will further investigate this issue as it may require an actual behavior fix.
