[Solved] $.telerik.formatString issue

[Donna Stewart]

I am using $.telerik.formatString in the following manner:

urlFormat = '<%= HttpUtility.UrlDecode(Url.Action("EditReportGroup", "Report", New With { .id = "{0}", .groupName = "{1}" } )) %>';
specificUrl = $.telerik.formatString(urlFormat, selectedValue, selectedText);
alert(selectedValue + " " + selectedText);
$("#reportindexright").load(specificUrl);

It appears that if the selectedText substituted for .groupName has a space in it, groupName is being sent with just the characters before the first space.  The rest of the string is cut off.  I know that selectedText is correct as I see the full string in the alert.  I am thinking maybe it is in the way I am using $.telerik.formatString, but I couldn't find any documentation on how to use it, just different examples in the forum.

Your help is very much appreciated.

Thank you,
Donna

Hello Donna Stewart,

 I don't understand what the problem is. Could you please specify what the format string is (when output on the clientside' and what the values for selectedValue and selectedText which break are?

I am using it to format the url used in the jquery .load (to load the div with the partial view returned by the action in the url).  It follows an example I found on your site here.  I need to send the 2 parameters back to the action on the url.  The selectedValue is a number, and an example is 120 (it is an id).  The selectedText is text, and an example is "Another New Report Group Modified".  For this example, I am getting just "Another" as the selectedText when it is passed on the url to the action, but the alert which prints out the selectedText shows "Another New Report Group Modified".

Thank you for your help,
Donna

I fixed it by using the javascript escape on the selectedText.

urlFormat = '<%= HttpUtility.UrlDecode(Url.Action("EditReportGroup", "Report", New With { .id = "{0}", .groupName = "{1:s}" } )) %>';
specificUrl = $.telerik.formatString(urlFormat, selectedValue, escape(selectedText));
alert(selectedValue + " " + selectedText);
$("#reportindexright").load(specificUrl);

Thanks!
