escape label HTML #257

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Labels are currently being applied with innerHTML in 
jsPlumb.Overlays.getTextDimensions ( 
https://github.com/sporritt/jsPlumb/blob/master/js/1.3.10/jsPlumb-defaults-1.3.1
0-RC1.js#L1048 ). Thus, they are being treated as HTML rather than text, as 
seen in this jsFiddle:

http://jsfiddle.net/Ha4kL/14/

I consider this behavior unexpected, based on the setLabel documentation ( 
http://jsplumb.org/apidocs/files/jquery-jsPlumb-1-3-9-all-js.html#setLabel ). I 
recognize that there could be backward compatibility issues here, but if so, I 
would suggest adding a setLabelText and noting in the documentation that 
setLabel expects HTML.

Thank you for all your work.

I'm not really sure i want to do this. If you need to escape the HTML then you 
can do so; adding functionality to the library to cater for this seems like 
unnecessary complexity to me.  I will add a note to the API docs for setLabel 
to make it clearer.

I don't think that using a TextNode rather than innerHTML is really "adding 
functionality to the library", but thanks for at least updating the docs.

it's just an issue of whether or not it is necessary.  if i added a new 
function then the user would have to make the decision to use one or the other 
function in their own code - you still have to do _something_.  may as well 
leave jsPlumb to do what it does best and deal with app specific stuff like 
this in the user's code.
