I experience that the encoded HTML values are incorrectly selected where jQuery reads the attribute value - quotes are decoded - so JSON parsing is not performed on that value.
Is this a bug in jQuery or am I not coding my values correctly?
Here is my HTML encoded JSON string:
[
{
"id": "1",
"organisation_id": "1",
"badge_id": "49",
"target": "15",
"target_type": "actions",
"target_title": null,
"target_description": null,
"start": "2014-01-15",
"name": "Our goal",
"description": "Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper. "Nullam" id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit. Nulla vitae elit libero, a pharetra augue. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent commodo cursus magna, vel scelerisque nisl consectetur et.",
"created": "2013-08-07 14:26:56"
},
{
"id": "19",
"organisation_id": "1",
"badge_id": "49",
"target": "30000000",
"target_type": "numeric",
"target_title": "Revenue contribution",
"target_description": "Specify how much this action contributes to the revenue goal",
"start": "2014-01-21",
"name": "November revenue",
"description": "Reach revenue of $30,000,000 in November. Let's do this.",
"created": "2014-01-21 16:59:25"
}
]
Pay attention to "the property description.
And here the problem is reproduced: http://jsfiddle.net/J8Xv6/
I think this is a problem that appears in new versions of jQuery. Just updated from 1.7.x to 1.11.0.
