 Priority:  normal          |   Milestone:                              
Component:  Administration  |     Version:  2.2                         
 Severity:  normal          |    Keywords:  text widget xhtml compliance
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 When I visit the sidebar widget admin page and my text widget contents is
 reloaded from the database all the &s I had in the link text within it
 are retrieved as normal &s (and I assume the same applies for other tags
 like this?).

 For example, if I'd originally entered part of my text as this;

 {{{
 <a href="http://www.example.com/?prop1=something&amp;prop2=somethingelse">
 }}}

 The sidebar admin page would be reloading it from the database like this;

 {{{
 <a href="http://www.example.com/?prop1=something&prop2=somethingelse">
 }}}

 Thus, unless I re-correct the text widget each time I go in there I end up
 saving a non-XHTML compliant contents to the text widget. Oh, and this is
 happening on load, not save. If I save after correcting the contents my
 generated pages are XHTML compliant.
