Question

I am using jqgrid, and am passing back json formatted rows. One of the values of the row is an anchor tag as below:

<a class='class1' href='#' onClick='getFn(); return false;'> text </a>

But The returned JSON converts the values as below:

"\n text\n <\/a>"

It removes all the attributes and also the “tag” at the beginning. Is there a workaround for this kind of problem?

JSON Sample of my resultset

{"ROWS":[[3,"FName1","Lname1","\n text\n <\/a>"]],"PAGE":1.0,"TOTAL":3.0,"RECORDS":1}

So in the above sample, the value "\n text\n <\/a>" should have been <a class='class1' href='#' onClick='getFn(); return false;'> text </a>

Coldfusion Code:

     //append to the array
     <cfset arrayAppend(arrayUsers[i],"<a class='class1' href='#' onClick='getFn(); return false;'> text </a>")>

  </cfloop>
 <cfset i = i + 1>

Final json formatted string to return

<cfset jsonReturn = {total=#totalPages#,page=#Arguments.page#,records=#GetDetails.recordcount#,rows=#arrayUsers#}>

Thanks

Use <cfsavecontent>:

<cfsavecontent variable="a"><a class='class1' href='#' onClick='getFn(); return false;'> text </a></cfsavecontent>

<cfset arrayAppend(arrayUsers[i], a)>
