ACE JSON escaping

          • Type: Bug Bug

          • Affects Version/s: 2.0-Beta2
          • Fix Version/s: 2.0.0
          • Component/s: ACE-Components

            ACE

            Description

            The ACE components use JSON escaping to pass parameters from the server to the client, specifically the JSProps and JSFProps parameters. The string escaping adds quotes, and escapes quotes, but also escapes backslashes and forward slashes. In the browser, the escape sequence for the forward slashes remains, as evidenced by inspecting the thumbUrl property on sliderEntry. We need to do some escaping, so that javascript values can exist within an html tag's attribute value.

            The solution need not specifically be JSON. We could do less escaping, that's non-JSON, or we could use YUI code to JSON unescape the values.
