ListGrid does not display certain text values

[jpappalardo]

To demonstrate this issue go to http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/showcase/#grid_editing_row

Enter editing mode of a text field and enter the value <href> and click enter. The field displays no text.

Enter editing mode of a text field and enter the value "<href>" and click enter. The field displays "".

Is there a way to preclude this from occurring?

By default HTML data in a grid will render out as HTML (so you could have a record with a field value of "This is <b>Bold!</b>" and the formatting would show up).
To suppress this you can set listGridField.escapeHTML on the field.
(Or of course your data could contain escaped HTML with &lt; and &gt; character code values)
