Spaces are reduced in ajax responses

[mhn]

I have a selectManyCheckbox with a f:selectItems tag inside.
Some of the SelectItems have spaces in their ids (value attribute).
e.g. value="Two Spaces" or value="Three Spaces".
These values are rendered correctly in Non-Ajax requests.

If these tags are rendered via Ajax then the Spaces are reduced to single spaces.
e.g. value="Two Spaces" or value="Three Spaces".

This means that following submissions fail because the values with the single spaces are not found during processValidations.
A validation error occurs saying "Value is not a valid option".
This happens also for other attributes like titles.

Is this caused by the ajax4jsf Filter ?
My web.xml contains this definition:

<display-name>Ajax4jsf Filter</display-name>
<filter-name>ajax4jsf</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.ajax4jsf.Filter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>forceparser</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>


I use:
- a4j 1.1.0
- myFaces 1.1.5
- tomahawk 1.1.5

BTW, even in the text above there is no different between two and three spaces.

forceparser=false avoids html correction only for non-ajax request.
You are agree to take responsibility for html correctness, use org.ajax4jsf.FastFilter.

The difference is visible in the html source only.

Is there any config option for the filter to disable this special html improvement (space reduction)?

Is it incorrect html if there are spaces in the value attribute or even in the title of a tag? I am not sure about this.

Thanks for any help

Thanks Sergey,

Now it's working.

The default tidy.properties file contains the key "literal-attributes" two times and both are commented out.

Shouldn't literal-attributes=true be the default ?
