I'm encountering an issue where the jQuery replaceWith(responseText) function modifies the attribute values of elements by replacing double quotes with ".
Original responseText:
<div id='whatsapp_icon' onclick='whatsappClick("37112345678", "")'></div>
After using replaceWith:
<div id="whatsapp_icon" onclick="whatsappClick("37112345678", "")"></div>
This issue is recent, and previously the method worked as expected. Notably:
- The issue does not appear on all systems, but on most systems.
- I tried to disable all extensions in browsers, without result (and this behavior appeared not simultaneously, but during one or two days on completely independent systems).
- The code hasn't been modified recently.
- The jQuery library wasn't updated.
- The
.html()function exhibits the same behavior.
What could be causing this change in behavior?
Sometimes browser updates changes how HTML is being rendered and parsed. As you already mentioned the code hasn't been change neither the jQuery library nor the code. So a browser update might affect the way attribute values are displayed and processed.
