Custom Feature Code

I am creating a custom feature that uses a setting to change the background of a div.

When I use code like this:

string s = @"background-image: url('App_Themes/MyTheme/MyImage.png')";

background.Attributes.Add("style",s);

 

The page source shows:

 

<div id="background" style="background-image: url(&#39;App_Themes/MyTheme/MyImage.png&#39;)"></div>

 

How do I keep the single quote ' from being replaced with &#39;?

I know this has nothing to do with the mojoPortal CMS but maybe another developer has had this same problem.

Re: Custom Feature Code

I did some research on the Internet about this problem and have found out that developers are calling this a bug in .Net 4.0.

Microsoft is calling it a "security issue".

Re: Custom Feature Code

Hi,

Technically, you don't need the single quotes so you can remove them and it should work properly.

I caution you on doing this though because it makes it more difficult to customize the UI of your app later. I would add/change a class on the div in your code and then apply the background-image through CSS instead of inline style.

HTH,
Joe D.
