Unclosed td / th tags on PartialView #166

Closed danFbach closed 7 months ago

danFbach commented 7 months ago

In an existing <table> that i intend to inject rows (<tr>) into. I call an action with javascript, the action returns a PartialView, what is returned looked something like:

<tr>
    <td>cell 1
    <td>cell 2
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>cell 1
    <td>cell 2
</tr>

with no closing tags.

When unclosed <td> or <th> tags as a inside complete <table> element, browsers seem to have no problem parsing it into a valid table, but when the unclosed tags a returned and injected with javascript, no parsing occurs and broken html is the result.

Hello, Dan!

Optional tags are defined by HTML specification. There is a good article on this theme.

You can disable this behavior by using the RemoveOptionalEndTags and PreservableOptionalTagList options (see the documentation for details).

Hey @Taritsyn, I apologize for reporting this. After testing with <!--wmm:ignore--> around my view code, i found that the unminified html produced the same result, which helped me localize my problem to my method of injection in javascript. Thanks for responding, anyway!
