Hello all,
I'm using mod_python+ElementTree to build XHTML pages. But I stumbled
across this problem:
--------------------
def foo(req, desc = None):
...
tr = ET.SubElement(tbl, "tr")
th = ET.SubElement(tr, "th")
th.text = "Description"
td = ET.SubElement(tr, "td")
ta = ET.SubElement(td, "textarea", name="desc", rows="8",
cols="64")
if desc is None:
desc = ''
ta.text = desc
--------------------
The problem is that this generates the following code:
<tr>
<th>Description</th>
<td>
<textarea cols="64" name="desc" rows="8" />
</td>
</tr>
Firefox is very unhappy about the textarea not having separate
opening and a closing tags. i.e. I need this:
<textarea cols="64" name="desc" rows="8"></textarea>
I understand the opitmization ElementTree is performing; but it seems
there are cases when it is not the proper thing to do. Is it possible to
force ElementTree to output the XHTML code I need it to?
