backslash-escaped doublequotes in attributes after removeAttribute #218

milahu · 2022-09-19T14:32:28Z

const { parse } = require('node-html-parser')

var insrc = `\
<html>
  <div id="_" title='"world"' onClick='alert("hello")' color="red">nochange</div>
  <div id="e" title='"world"' color="red">expected</div>
  <div id="a" title='"world"' onClick='alert("hello")' color="red">actual</div>
</html>
`;

var root = parse(insrc);

root.querySelectorAll('#e').forEach(node => {
  node.setAttribute('onClick', "alert('hello')");
})

root.querySelectorAll('#a').forEach(node => {
  //node.setAttribute('title', '"replaced"');
  node.removeAttribute('color'); // FIXME
})

console.log(root.toString());

result

<html>
  <div id="_" title='"world"' onClick='alert("hello")' color="red">nochange</div>
  <div id="e" title="&quot;world&quot;" color="red" onClick="alert('hello')">expected</div>
  <div id="a" title="\"world\"" onClick="alert(\"hello\")">actual</div>
</html>

title="\"world\"" is invalid html

should be either title='"world"' (pretty, minimal diff)
or title=""world"" (ugly, invasive)
