TextField value disappears if input string starts with <

[jay.l.fisher]

You can see what I mean using this sample.

http://www.smartclient.com/#editByRow

Double-click the first row and put a left bracket character < at the beginning of United States and then click out of the row.

If it's a legal character and shouldn't render as HTML, set escapeHTML for the field. Otherwise define a validator (probably regexp) to disallow it.

I don't set any API for setEscapeHTML() or similar. Should this work? ListGridField.setAttribute("escapeHTML", true);

[Isomorphic]

We just double checked and listGridField.setEscapeHTML(Boolean escapeHTML) is there. Can you verify that you're really not seeing it?

[jay.l.fisher]

Sorry, it's there. I was looking at DataSourceField.

Actually this thread has prompted us to also add it at the DataSourceField level - will show up there in the next build.

Hi Isomorphic,

I had the same problem as jay.l.fisher.
In the meantime "escapeHTML" is evaluated when set at field-level in .ds.xml.
It it not included in http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwte...urceField.html, though.

Could you please tell me if the use there is not allowed (as for "width") or if its just missing in the docs?

Thank you,
Blama

It's allowed on DataSourceField - note it appears under the non-serverds DataSourceField docs - we've fixed it so it will appear under both in the future.
