Bug #21882 for HTML-Prototype: Prototype HTML-encodes strings it has no business encoding

Firstly, I'm not sure this is the plugin at fault, but its the one I'm calling so it may be your plugin feels the heat from somebody else's bug. Simply put, if I call the example code: $prototype->link_to_remote( '<img src="refresh.png"/>', { update => 'emails', url => 'http://localhost/refresh/' } ); This renders the string: <a href="http://localhost/refresh" onclick=" new Ajax.Updater( 'emails', 'http://localhost/refresh', { asynchronous: 1 } ) ; return false">&lt;img src="refresh.png"/&gt;</a> While the example doesn't say this is an incorrect behaviour, I think we can say it is implicitly, since "&lt;img src="refresh.png"/&gt;" is relatively nonsensical content for link text and would make for a terrible example on your part. It would also render perl's prototype more crippled than ruby's since images can't be used to decorate links.
