Re: Why do TextBoxes render HTML?

Thank you! Quite right: I was looking at a TextBox used for input, but in view-only rendering, an InlineHTML was being used.

Hello,

i do not understand actually, a gwt TextBox (com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.TextBox) is an input type=text and not a span,

maybe you are using some other library ?

The following pic shows the textBox in the standard sample application and as you can see the textbox not a span. 

Do i miss something ?

Regards,

Text in a TextBox gets rendered as HTML. Yet TextBox is not a rich-text component; it does not implement HasHTML.

TextBox becomes  a span  in the HTML, which renders as abcxyz.  

<span class="text viewableValue"><b>abc</b>xyz</span> 

See image.

I'd expect it to render literally as <b>abc</b>xyz

Does anyone know what GWT is  doing? How do I set text that is rendered as plaintext?
