Ampersand in attribute

Re: Ampersand in attribute

I don't know whether this is right but try putting it as the literal to
start with.
i.e. if you put "abc&def" it might 'convert' this to "abc&de f"
but if you put "abc&de f" it might convert this right back to "abc&def" !
Sounds silly but try it...it might work

Re: Ampersand in attribute

Hello Tim,

When the Attribute collection gets rendered, it runs through a Render method on the AttributeCollec tion, which in turn calls WriteAttribute on the HtmlTextWriter.

The WriteAttribute method on HtmlTextWriter calls HttpUtility.Htm lAttributeEncod e, which in turn does the encoding.

The only way around it that I see would be to create a custom control, and override the Render method to output the attribute correctly.
