webbrowser control strips "&" character when invoking fnAddData() inside explorer webbrowser control

Hi,

I'm using v1.9.4. When running the code in any browser, everything is fine, but when running the code inside our .net I.E. webbrowser control (versions 8, 9 or 10) the "&" character is being stripped inside fnAddData().

e.g.

// gItem[6] is equal to "P&G"

var lRowData = gTableInstanceList.fnAddData([gItem[0], gItem[1], gItem[2], gItem[3], gItem[4], gItem[5], gItem[6], gItem[7], gItem[8], gItem[9], gItem[10], gItem[11], gItem[12]], redrawTable);

// The Cell for gItem,[6] displays "P" .
// "&G" is stripped. Only in webbrowser control. All other browsers display "P&G"

Has anyone else come across this ? Any suggestions ?

Thanks,

Craig.

I was able to work around the problem with the following code:

Just prior to fnAddData():

if (!gStandalone) // inside webbrowser control
{

for (var h = 0, i = item.length; h < i; h++) {

// convert & to &
if (typeof(item[h]) != "string") continue ; // ignore non-string

item[h] = item[h].replaceAll("&" , "&");

}

}
