WebHtmlEditor With WebSpellChecker & sign get converts to &
posted

I'm using WebHtmlEditor With WebSpellChecker. In that control I have encountered an issue with & sign. This happens randomly.

scenarios:

1.) Just enter & sign except other text. Save this in database and when it displayed it shows &. This does not happen if there are some text with & sign.

2.) Couldn't re-create other scenarios.  But in the middle of paragraphs & sign get converts to & .

    Hello Aruna ,

     

    Thank you for posting in our forum.

     

    Special characters like “&” need to be encoded before they get send to the server.  Due to this if you check the text send over to the server when you enter “&” it will contain the encoded value:” &”. Before you save the data in your data source you can decode the string returned from the client so that you’ll get the clean value. For example:

      string encodedString = this.WebHtmlEditor1.Text;

     string decodedString = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(encodedString);

     

     

    Let me know if you have any questions.

     

    Best Regards,
