Empty cells for XML source columns with period character in name

[scott.rycroftParticipant]

I have an XML source from a third party that has periods in the name. Periods are valid XML name characters, so there should be no problem there.

When rendering, jqxGrid is drawing a blank cell value for those columns, even though there is data.

This issue does not occur if the source is JSON, but otherwise the same names.

I have a minimal reproducible example here for the XML version failing: http://jsfiddle.net/07xpe8nL/2/

Here’s another example with JSON where this is working correctly: http://jsfiddle.net/jxbhzmoL/2/

Can this be confirmed to be an issue?

Hello scott.rycroft,

I got it, thank you for the examples and for this feedback.
I will create a work item for this case.

Is there any update on this issue?

Hello scott.rycroft,

Not, yet, unfortunately.
I check this work item and it is still valid.
I hope it is possible and you could try with another naming of XML tag.
Thank you for the understanding.

Is there any update on this?

I am not in control of the XML (third-party source), so I cannot change it.

Thanks,

Hello Scott Rycroft,

I checked again and the item is still valid.
I would like to suggest you try an alternative (as a workaround) – convert the XML data to the JSON.
I hope this will help.
