I have a simple view I'm using in conjunction with an ajax call using ?ReadViewEntries&OutputFormat=json. I have a column in the view which simply displays the value of a field ("DialogContent") on a form. The field value is some text which my javascript code will display on a help tip dialog.
Let's assume the value of the field is:
<p>This is my help text!</p>
In Domino 8.0.2, the json returned for this field appears as follows:
{
"@columnnumber": "2",
"@name": "DialogContent",
"text": {
"0": "<p>This is my help text!</p>"
}
}
My javascript code has no problems parsing this response, and testing this response with a json validator (http://jsonlint.com/) is successful.
However, in Domino 8.5.3, the json output for the same view returns the following for this column:
{
"@columnnumber": "2",
"@name": "DialogContent",
"text": {
"0": "<p\>This is my help text\!</p\>"
}
}
Note the backslash (\) escaping the > and ! characters. This json output does not pass validation and breaks my javascript code.
Does anyone know why 8.5.3 is returning different json than 8.0.2, and how I can get around this? I know I could write an agent to return what I'm after, instead of using ReadViewEntries, but I'd like to understand why this changed???
