Line Breaks (<br/>) in UI Pages duplicating

[wollman1]

I'm trying to create a UI Page to display some information off the group form. However when I try to split a line using a <br/> tag, when it renders it is duplicated.

UI Page Code:

<j2:while test="$[groups.next()]">

  <tr>

      <td>$[groups.name]</td>

      <td>$[groups.u_escalation_on_call_contact]</td>

      <td>$[groups.manager.first_name] $[groups.manager.last_name]<br/>$[groups.manager.mobile_phone]</td>

      <td>$[groups.manager.manager.first_name] $[groups.manager.manager.last_name]<br/>$[groups.manager.manager.mobile_phone]</td>

  </tr>

</j2:while>

As Rendered:

<tr><td>Account &amp; Access Management</td><td>877-504-6342</td><td>Todd Sears<br></br>(617) 529-6965</td><td>Courtney Harwood<br></br>(617) 312-9865</td></tr>

How can I prevent this?

Thank you ahead of time

Drew, I wonder what's the difference.

I tried a new UI page with just the following code:

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<p>This is a TEST${AMP}lt;br/>Hello World</p>

</j:jelly>

And it still displays as:

This is a TEST<br/>Hello World

Oh well! Using Brad Tilton's suggestion of a <p> tag and setting the margin:0; works just as well.

Thanks,
Matt

Interestingly I found the answer today on why they are different.   If the system property "glide.ui.escape_text" is false then the $[AMP]lt;br/> works, if it is true then it does not.

Hi Michel,

I have the similar situation..

I am opening a dialog window from client script.

In the ui page I have used "${RP.getWindowProperties().get('comments_text')" to get the value from client script.

Now the Issue it is diaplaying <br> in the output instead of line breaking.

I have replaced the \n with <br> using

replace(/\n/g ,'$[AMP]lt;br/>')

also tried like replace(/\n/g ,'<br/>')

but same problem.

Do you have any idea on this.

Thanks

All you can do is use paragraph tags and then set the margin to zero, at least thats the best way I have found.
