I have a pretty complex page set up which may be difficult to illustrate here, part of the page is creating dynamic components.


If I run my page standalone everything works properly; the components get created without any issues. However if I run my page in a page include it errors at a specific line of my javascript to create the XML for the component:


$('#'+curEleArr.join('-'),xml).append(''); ``` The error here is: Failed to set the 'innerHTML' property on 'Element': The provided markup is invalid XML, and therefore cannot be inserted into an XML document.

Note: This works fine on the standalone page, but if the page is inside a page include it fails. Also note: I have similar code above this that does not throw an error, why does the error get thrown here specifically?

I've already checked the ID (curEleArr.join) and that looks fine as well as the value of 'field' that also looks fine. I'm really perplexed as to why this is throwing this error and more specifically why it only occurs when the page is a page include, not when I run the page standalone.

Any ideas here?

Thanks!

Here’s my full javascript snippet for rendering the component in case it is useful. It is a bit complex… you can find the line that errors inside the try/catch under the comment: //FAILS ON PAGE INCLUDE ???

I was able to get past that error by enclosing the string with $(‘String’,xml) like so:


$('#'+curEleArr.join('-'),xml).append($('',xml));
However I'm also getting the same error message at this line:
$('#'+curEleArr.join('-'),xml).append($('', xml));

Failed to set the 'innerHTML' property on 'Element': The provided markup is invalid XML, and therefore cannot be inserted into an XML document.

and I already have the string I’m appending enacased in $(‘String’,xml)


Not sure what to do for this one. Again this only causes a problem on the page when it’s a page include, not when it’s a standalone page.


I was able to work around this.

For the following:

$(‘#’+curEleArr.join(‘-’),xml).append($(‘’, xml));
removing allowhtml=“true” seems to let this work when the page is in a page include.


I have no clue why this is the case. I have other templates in the file being declared with allowhtml=“true” that work just fine.

This line works:

$(‘#’+curEleArr.join(‘-’),xml).append($(‘’, xml));


Another update to this line of odd issues with XML and dynamic components.

I’ve discovered that an XML string formatted with this syntax: is potentially problematic and causes “invalid XML” errors, but only if the component is on a page that is inside a page include on another page. The way to resolve this is simply by using the xml syntax:

In short, XML with the syntax:

is unstable on page includes potentially creating “invalid xml” errors
whereas:

seems to work properly on page includes
