MS IE 8 (7,6) does not recognize html entity '

[pvojtechovsky]

MS IE 8 (and also older versions) does not recognize html entity '

This html entity is used by isc.makeXMLSafe when escaping apostrophe.

Please use html entity ' instead in SmartClient code.

Here is a sample code:
isc.Label.create({
height: 30,
padding: 10,
align: "center",
valign: "center",
wrap: false,
icon: "icons/16/approved.png",
showEdges: true,
contents: isc.makeXMLSafe("Apostrophe ' is not rendered well on MS IE 8")
})

So the fixed code in SmartClient 8.3 looks like this:
isc.addMethods(isc, {
...
//_$apos:"'",
_$apos:"'",
...
})

Leaving the apostrophe alone is not a valid general solution, it could prematurely close an XML attribute value if the outer quote was an apostrophe. Do you know of another workaround - character code perhaps?

I do not suggest to leave the apostrophe alone! I agree with you that it is not a solution.

I suggested to use html entity "'" instead of html entity "'".
