HtmlMenuItem API output problem

[dr3342]

I have a custom drop down menu creating class that calls the org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlMenuItem class.

...
HtmlMenuItem navItem = new HtmlMenuItem();
...

When it gets down to rendering on the browser it ends up generating code that has some control/special character in it that causes it to bomb.

...
<div class="dr-menu-item dr-menu-item-enabled rich-menu-item rich-menu-item-enabled"
 id="j_id7:j_id112"
 onclick="this.className='dr-menu-item dr-menu-item-enabled rich-menu-item rich-menu-item-enabled'; ;"
 onmouseout="if (RichFaces.Menu.isWithin(event, this)) return; this.className='dr-menu-item dr-menu-item-enabled rich-menu-item rich-menu-item-enabled'; $('j_id7:j_id112').style.cssText=';'; $('j_id7:j_id112:icon').className='dr-menu-icon rich-menu-item-icon '; Element.removeClassName($('j_id7:j_id112:anchor'), 'rich-menu-item-label-selected');"
 onmouseover="if (RichFaces.Menu.isWithin(event, this)) return; this.className='dr-menu-item dr-menu-item-hover rich-menu-item rich-menu-item-hover';; $('j_id7:j_id112').style.cssText='; ; ;'; $('j_id7:j_id112:icon').className='dr-menu-icon dr-menu-icon-selected rich-menu-item-icon rich-menu-item-icon-selected '; Element.addClassName($('j_id7:j_id112:anchor'), 'rich-menu-item-label-selected');"
 onmouseup="Event.�top(event); "
 style="; ">
 <span class="dr-menu-icon rich-menu-item-icon " id="j_id7:j_id112:icon">
 <img height="16" src="/ECSC/a4j_3_2_1-SNAPSHOTimages/spacer.gif" width="16" />
 </span>
 <span class="rich-menu-item-label " id="j_id7:j_id112:anchor">
 <a href="https://server.company.com/ECSC/Index.seam">Documents</a>
 </span>
</div>
...

The character always appears in the onmouseup script. It probably should be:

onmouseup="Event.stop(event);"

but the "s" in stop is always a control character.

Am I doing something that could possibly cause this, or is this a bug?

I am using:

JBoss 4.2.2 GA
Seam 2.1.0 Snapshot
RichFaces 3.2.1 Snapshot (also have tried 3.2.0 SR 1)
Facelets 1.1.14
JSF Sun RI 1.2_08

Thanks,
David

Yes, this is a bug, but not in the RichFaces. It is a critical bug in JSF Sun RI 1.2_08. The bug is fixed already there.

Sergey -

Thank you very much. It is nice to find out once in a while that I am not nuts. I had been trying to figure out what I did wrong for a while now.

I'll go get an updated version Sun's JSF RI 1.2.

Thanks again,
David
