Problem with Double Quote Inside the SourceUrl of a RadHtmlPlaceHolder

[Junlan]

If there is a double quote inside the SourceUrl of a RadHtmlPlaceHolder, the url will be trimmed. For example,
when SourceUrl = " http://duckduckgo.com?q=renewable energy ""2012""", in the iFrame it would be src=http://duckduckgo.com?q=renewable engery . I've also tried  " http://duckduckgo.com?q=renewable energy %222012%22". It doesn't work as well. Is there a way to insert double quotes into the SourceUrl?

Hello JunLan,

 The SourceUrl is of type System.Uri so the problem is more related to escaping "" - two adjacent double quotation marks in Uri. I believe that ""5555"" should be replaced with %22%225555%22%22 but not 
%225555%22. Hope this helps you.

Petar,

Thank you for your reply. I tried "%22%22renewable energy%22%22" both in the xaml and the code behind. It doesn't work. Could you try that to see if it works?

Hi,

I have a similar problem with escaping of characters in SourceUrl property.

My guess is that RadHtmlPlaceholder uses SourceUrl.ToString() instead of SourceUrl.AbsoluteUri when providing uri to iframe.

Hello Maksym and Junlan,

The RadHtmlPlaceholder gives to the underlying iframe the Uri.OriginalString. Check the following lines:

 Uri uri = new Uri("http://abbbb.com:/aa%22%22renewable energy%22%22");
 Debug.WriteLine(uri.OriginalString);

This Prints: http://abbbb.com:/aa%22%22renewable energy%22%22 This will be the string passed to the iframe src property.

Hello Petar,

I rechecked (with Fiddler), and at least on version 2011.2.1004.1040 of Telerik controls it doesn't use Uri.OriginalString.
It behaves as if it uses SourceUrl.ToString().

Hello Maksym,

 You are right. Indeed, in Q2.2011.1004 the RadHtmlPlaceholder gives the underlying Iframe SourceUrl.ToString(). The SourceUrl.OriginalString is change introduced in the official Q1 2012 (0215).
Please excuse me for not explaining this correctly.

All the best,
