Apostrophe in RadGrid filtering causing JavaScript error

[Richard]

Using 2014.3.1209.40 DLL getting JavaScript error if user tries to filter a column with a string containing an apostrophe (single quote, chr(39))

Same behavior can be seen in Telerik's own online demo: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/overview/defaultcs.aspx
In Model column enter something like Joe's click the filter button, select Contains and you get:

Line: 5022
Error: Expected ')'

Tried escaping the apostrophe as \' or /' or ['] - same result

As an unrelated issue - tried entering HTML encoded string version Joe's and clicked filter/Contains - page redirected to "Oh, no!  It seems we've lost this page!"

Hi Richard,

This problem is already fixed in our Q1 2015 Beta release which is already available for download. You can test how the grid filtering is working with this version here:

I am using the latest 2016.1.113.45 and am getting a Javascript error when filtering with an apostrophe/single quote when the grid is in RenderMode="Mobile". When the grid is in RenderMode="Auto", the filtering with an apostrophe works.

I will report the bug as well.

This also appears to impact scenarios where the field containing the apostrophe is the detail key field in a master/detail relationship.

Hello Raymond,

You can add the mentioned scenario in the feedback item, so we can have it in mind while fixing the issue.
