Escaping tooltips

[jabberwo]

Not sure where to write this. New to Fancytree and github for that matter.

I use a 2 iframe layout on my page. With fancytree on the left frame. Using jQuery widget for tooltips you are limited to the iframe -- they don't float over border like browser managed tooltips do. But when I try multi-line tooltips (using ) fancytree rendering code uses _escapeHtml.

I added a new option and would like to make it part of the project. In jquery.fancytree.js where the options json (line 4179 in the current version) is defined I added

    escapeTooltips: true,

Then were it escapes the HTML code I changed line 3452 to:

        tooltip = node.tooltip ? " title='" + (opts.escapeTooltips ? _escapeHtml(node.tooltip) : node.tooltip) + "'" : "";

Just sharing. And if it became part of the project I wont have to modify the javascript file next time!

cheers,
Jab

Thanks for contributing.
Not sure if I fully understand the request: you would like to include <br> or 
 in the title attribute to generate multi-line tooltips?
The assumption was that html tags inside an title attribute are invalid html, so escaping should be ok.
But it seems that 
 should be allowed (http://stackoverflow.com/a/13585406/19166), which is prevented by escaping as well.

Are you initializing the tree via JSON and did you try to pass \n (i.e. the newline byte 0x0D) instead?

Hi,
Yes I tried as well.  But the & was always escaped so you get "
" or "
".
