User entered tags in a grid column

[DaveBParticipant]

grids and other jqWidget components have a feature that allows you to embed inner HTML into a grid column or other columns to your grid, however, if a user enters something like an HTML button tag, when they tab off of the field that column will display a button. When they click back on the field and it goes back into edit mode they will again see what they had originally typed. Is there any way to force tags or any other misc data display as they were entered by the user to avoid strange and unexpected results from our users?

Hi,

The Grid cells always display the cell values. If you try to implement custom editors through custom HTML, then you will have to manually update your cell values, too.

I don’t think that is correct. If you go to any of your editing demos, go into edit mode on a cell and then type in the example button tag below and tab off of the field, when you leave the cell a button will be visible in the cell.

<button>TEST</button>

Hi,

For us that is a feature which allows you to display HTML within the Grid cells. In case you don’t want Tags to be entered you may Validate the user’s input by using the “validation” callback.
