V14. Error with special characters in grid

[xiprersTGNParticipant]

I am testing the new version 14.0 and I notice that when the text of a grid cell contains special characters, for example: < the grid renders it without converting it to the ‘<‘ symbol, however when you change the sort order of the table by clicking on the column header, then it corrects it and renders the text correctly.
Is this a bug? Or am I missing something.

Greetings.

Hi,

Do you mean that the grid is not replacing the special characters with their HTML entities?
What do you mean by rendering the text correctly?
I am looking forward to helping you!

Yes, when I see the grid the special characters aren’t replaced.
In V4 it’s Ok but with new V14 isn’t, you must to change the order with column header and then the content is refresh and go ok, but the first time when the grid is created not replace the special characters.

Thank you

Hi,

The grid is escaping the special characters correctly.
Have a look at this demo: http://jsfiddle.net/5uxLq13y/
Click the button and see that the innerHTML contains the relevant HTML entities.

If you need further assistance, let us know!

Hi,

I have the same problem.
We have a database in which types predefined by the database are enclosed in <>.

The demo gives for ‘<>’ the correct ‘<>’
And also correct if I set data to ‘<_>’: ‘<_>’ or ‘<123>’: ‘<123>’.

But <Person> gives ‘<Person></Person>’ instead of ‘<Person>’ and so the field is displayed empty.

The above doesn’t look correct now because the esacaped tags were interpreted.
So I try as code:

The demo gives for ‘<>’ the correct ‘<>’
And also correct if I set data to ‘<_>’: ‘<_>’ or ‘<123>’: ‘<123>’.

But <Person> gives ‘<Person></Person>’ instead of ‘<Person>’ and so the field is displayed empty.

With code the escaped tags are also interpreted so I hope you know what I mean.

[svetoslav_borislavovParticipant]

Hi,

<Person> is a tag. To visualize it the data should be escaped.
Here is a demo, have a look at it: http://jsfiddle.net/zejf80cs/

Hi, I look at this demo: http://jsfiddle.net/5uxLq13y/ and change in data the value of ‘Sofia’ with ‘So& # 039;fia’ and I can see that don’t change the special character, it’s show So& # 039;fia in grid and must show So’fia.

Best regard.

[svetoslav_borislavovParticipant]

Hi,

Yes it displays So& # 039;fia. You should enter So’fia.
Try with these <>. If you enter them they will be escaped, but if you enter <&gt it will display <&gt.
