Table: breaks after one call to updateStyleElement()

[ymg2006]

Describe the bug

@cetincakiroglu @mehmetcetin01140
Commit #16154 completely breaks table after resizeTableCells or onColumnDrop.

@aaronshim maybe reading innerhtml-vs-innertext-vs-textcontent helps to figure out why the whole table is broken after 17.18.7 to 17.18.8 commit.

Environment

Windows 11

Reproducer

No response

Angular version

17.3.6

PrimeNG version

17.18.8

Build / Runtime

Angular CLI App

Language

TypeScript

Node version (for AoT issues node --version)

20.12.1

Browser(s)

All

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Do anything in the table that makes a call to resizeTableCellsm then the whole css and ids and etc are broken.

Expected behavior

No response

Hi @ymg2006

Thanks for surfacing the issue. The three call sites replaced with textContent in #16154 appeared to be <style> tags, which are compatible with having the styles (as in, no nested tags and no markup inside the style) set with textContent. (The reasoning is described in #16153)

I am not sure why there is markup being set to innerHTML of these <style> tags, but thanks for looking into a workaround.

To the maintainers: if this UI breakage behavior was as easy to reproduce as described in this issue, was there a test to catch this that I was supposed to run in the contributor guidelines? Is there a place where we can introduce such basic rendering tests?

Hi @aaronshim,
Reproducing the issue is simple, create a table and add a lot of data to it, just resize the width of one column, everything will break.
I already have fixed the issue in commit #16212 and also other places where innerHtml is being set as trusted.

Hi @ymg2006,

To make it faster and include the fix in this week's milestone, we've fixed this issue for just the table. We'll review the pr of this issue also to make sure nothing breaks in other 19 components. Thanks a lot for reporting the issue!
