#:Field# encoding doesn't work?

[ExactBid]

According to the Kendo UI template documentation, you can use either the #=Field# or #:Field# notation, with the #:Field# notation encoding the text. However, I cannot seem to get this to work.

I created a field in my model that just returned a string, "<b>Todd</b>". Then, I used the template like this:

<a href="/page.aspx?path=#=Field#"></a>

and also like this:

<a href="/page.aspx?path=#:Field#"></a>

In BOTH cases, the output was

<a href="/page.aspx?path=<b>Todd</b>"></a>

While I would expect that for the #=Field# notation, for the #:Field# notation, I was expecting:

<a href="/page.aspx?path=%3Cb%3ETodd%3C/b%3E"></a>

Any ideas on why this isn't working like I am expecting?

Hello,

This syntax will work correctly only for HTML encoding. In order to achieve your desired behavior you will have to use encodeURI as it is done for example in this dojo.

Thanks.  That was what I was looking for.
