flash textfield no longer works with <![CDATA[ ]]>

You had suggested using this .. and it works in html5 and now I'm going back through flash which sometimes krpano fallsbacks to for older macs with HW accel disabled...

<data name="htmldata2">
<![CDATA[
<?php print !empty($desc[$i]) ? '<p>'. str_ireplace("&#39;","'",xmlEntities($desc[$i])) .'</p>' : ''; ?>
]]>
</data>

TLDR;

textfield won't display properly with cdata

Hi

Of what I remember a TEXT Flash player does not accept such tags. It is limited.

Yeah, I think it used to work though.
I'm pretty sure ive been using cdata before switching to html5 as default.

Without it, any minor mistakes will cause a parse error and the tour will fail.

I guess I'll just have to see what breaks on 3000+ tours and filter any problems..

Hi,

the CDATA xml tag should work in both viewers - HTML5 and Flash - but the syntax/usage need to be correct!

With correct I mean the '<![CDATA[' would need to be the very first data/text in a xml node - even with no whitespace before!

E.g. this is wrong/invalid:

Code

<data name="htmldata2">
<![CDATA[
...
]]>
</data>

This would be correct/valid:

Code

<data name="htmldata2"><![CDATA[
...
]]></data>
