Hi Arturo,
you may have misinterpreted the specification;)
the & must indicate the beginning of an entity reference (like
é for é) and end with a ";". everytime else it has to be
escaped into "&".
Here's the relevant part of the (x)html specification:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_12
and another "tip":
http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#amp
so yes it's a bug and it leads to a non valid (standard compliant)
markup generation.
I'm a beginner in WO, but not in HTML;)

No, that's wrong.
Any & in the URL that is NOT used to separate parameters must be
escaped. IIRC, the MS toolchain screws this up like so many other
things.

OK David, so here's the details:
When you've got a direct Action, in which there are several
parameter, it becomes a link like
.../wa/actionName?attribute1=xparam&attribute2=yparam
for example.
The HTML specification says the "&" in URLs must be escaped to
"&" so the HTML code for this link should be:
.../wa/actionName?attribute1=xparam&attribute2=yparam
and it was the case at least in 5.2.3 and earlier (I don't
remember in 5.2.4).
So this thing that seems trivial and none harmful just ruined any
accessibility "rating" you're application could have (the ratings
are A, AA and AAA), at least above A (because it requires a valid
HTML code). And the European law says that public organisations
must be at least A but target AA.
On my particular side, we were able to provide most af our product
as AAA and they now all fall down to A...
I'm not sure I made myself clear, let me know if I'm still "weird":)

Hi,
what does this mean 'the & isn't escaped in Direct Action' ??? In
the response from a WODirectAction's action method or where??? It
would be great if you can explain me this issue a little bit more
in detail. I am also sure that with such a bugreport apple would
not spend a second before closing such a bugreport ;-)
regards, David

Hi David,
just one major issue in 5.3: the & isn't escaped in Direct
Action which is a major issue (HTML conformance) as you cannot
provide anything to public organisation all over Europe (at
least you can only provide the lowest level of accessibility
which is simple-A, but can't do double-A or triple-A
accessibility as it requires HTML conformance...)
It used to work correctly before 5.3 (don't remember in 5.2.4).
I also think the date used to be displayed localized when the
session as a language set (at least the ones integrated in OS X).
But I'm not a WO expert, so my point my not be accurate;)
Xavier
Hi,
could you please clarify those important fixes? I would really
like to know what exactly does not work.

Regardless of whether they have done this in the past or not,
Apple
needs to explain when they will fix the problems in WO 5.3. I
am sure
many people have decided to avoid WebObjects for projects
until the
fixes have been made.
