Description

This issue was raised by Andrus Adamchik:

"I used Click AJAX features and discovered that most standard
controls are not XHTML compatible. So I had to create my own ugly
formatter method to filter Field output:

public String xml(Field field) {
// fixing click bug - fields rendering is not XHTML compatible

if (field == null)

{ return ""; }

String string = field.toString();
if (string.startsWith("<input"))

{ string = string.replace("checked", "checked='checked'"); string = string.replaceAll("([\\w])''", "\\1'"); string = string.substring(0, string.length() - 1) + "/>"; }

else if (string.startsWith("<select"))

{ string = string.replace("selected", "selected='selected'"); }

return string;
}

It would be nice if the framework could generate XHTML by default or
have a flag somewhere to control it."
