Hi,
Jim you almost find it…
you arrived to this line:
<java>
var svgDOM = DataManager.serialize(svgClone);
</java>
if you investigate the value of the svgDOM you'll notice a malformed xml node:
<java>
<path id="sid-5CDCB4D9-2A8C-410E-943B-179E08B332E3_1" fill="none"
marker-end="url("#sid-5CDCB4D9-2A8C-410E-943B-179E08B332E3end")"
stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-width="2" d="M 306.141 191 L 350.125 191"/>
</java>
Did you notice the marker-end value ? it contains double quotes character (") and this will fail when the xml will be parsed by any XML parser (Batik transformer in our case)
The SVG editor when serializing a node is doing it like that:
<java>
attributes.each(function(attribute) {
result += ' ' + attribute.nodeName + '="' + attribute.nodeValue + '"';
});
</java>
See: datamanager.js @ line: 420 in "serialize" function.
As you can see the serialized value of a attribute is obtained by simply concatenating the nodeName and the nodeValue but the node value is enclosed between double quotes (") and in this case any double quotes in the attribute value will make the xml invalid.
So, my suggestion is to change this function so it will parse the nodeValue before concatenating it and just replace all the double quotes with space when is used in a reference value like that i.e. "url(<value>)", or just simply replace all the double quotes with single quotes in any attribute value (this way will resolve the problem for all the attributes.)
This was the fix I did when I investigated the issue:
<java>
attributes.each(function(attribute) {
var str = attribute.nodeValue;
// will just remove the " character from the reference values of an attribute
// so attr="url("#likn")" will become: attr="url(#link)"
// exactly like the other browsers do in this case.
str = str.replace(/^url\(\"#/, 'url(#').replace(/\"\)$/, ')');
result += ' ' + attribute.nodeName + '="' + str + '"';
});
</java>
This is caused by the fact that in IE if you create dynamically a DOM element with an attribute having a reference value it will add automatically these double quotes.
Hope this will help you.
