template is encoding results from function

[Jeremy]

Hello all,

I have a template in a column in which I want to dive into logic and show or now show a link based on other values

{ title: "Job Location Notes", template: "${ showLogLink(JobLocationNotes,JobID) }" },

and the function is something simple like 

function showLogLink(JobLocationNotes, JobID) {

 

    if (JobLocationNotes != null && JobLocationNotes != "") {

        return JobLocationNotes + " <a href='javaScript:;' data-url='../ModalWindows/JobLocationNotes.aspx' title='Location Notes' class='jobLocationLink' data-id='" + JobID + "'>Log</a>";

    }

    else {

        return "";

    }

 

}

It works except the output is encoded.
So instead of seeing "Log"
I see " <a href='javaScript:;' data-url='../ModalWindows/JobLocationNotes.aspx' title='Location Notes' class='jobLocationLink' data-id='7'>Log</a> "

Thanks!

Hello Jeremy,

Please note that the template syntax ${ foo } is encoding the html. In your case the suitable template expression is #= foo #. In the corresponding documentation you can find more information and examples on this topic.
