We recently upgraded to MVC 4 and now we are having titles in our links not display correctly. The problem is before HTML.Raw would not escape & in our title attributes, but now it does. Below is my sample code:
<a title="@Html.Raw("Shoe Size 6½-8")">Test</a>
Which produces the following markup:
<a title="Shoe Size 6&#189;-8">Test</a>
The only solution I found so far was to put the entire anchor into a string and then HTML.Raw that string.
Why is Html.Raw escaping ampersand in anchor tag in ASP.NET MVC 4?.
This is a very ugly solution and I am hoping there is a better alternative.
