Is there anyway for the Grid to allow the display of apostrophes?

Apostrophe's in text are a fact of life but when I have a piece of text in a database and example code like the following to display the text, it just breaks the entire javascript and no display occurs.

oGridCell = new Object;
oGridCell.ID = GridCurID;
GridCurCol++;
oGridCell.Name = '';
oGridCell.Type = idxGrid_Text;
oGridCell.SortVal = '<%=rs("Area_Interest_1")%>.';
oGridCell.HTML = oGridCell.SortVal;
oGridCell.Column=GridCurCol;
GridCell_4 = oGridCell;

Note that surrounding the SortVal value with quotations or single quotes makes no difference. Same result.

Any ideas?

thanks.

The apostrophes are probably being interpreted as HTML special characters. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=html+special+characters&aq=1&oq=html+special+ch

You'll need to convert them to their equivalent HTML code.

Bah, so instead of just feeding my db data directly I'll need to convert. I just wrote my own grid yesterday afternoon so I think I'll do it. It isn't client based javascript but that means less code feeding to the client as well. Regardless, I'll keep in mind what you said if I use the activegrid again.

thanks!

No, it should be easier than that. Look at the cell value methods http://www.activewidgets.com/aw.ui.grid/cell-value.html and the cell text ones.
