input value not filtered in dojox.grid.cells.Cell.formatEditing()

[goriol]

When I start editing an editable cell in a dojox.grid.DataGrid? whose value contains a quote, the value is truncated after the first encountered quote.

Before entering in edit mode, dojox.grid.cells.Cell.formatEditing() is called. It returns the widget's HTML markup this way:

return '<input class="dojoxGridInput" type="text" value="' + inDatum + '">';

As inDatum is not filtered, any quotation mark will terminate the value.

I would suggest to replace this function by:

		formatEditing: function(inDatum, inRowIndex){
			this.needFormatNode(inDatum, inRowIndex);
			return '<input class="dojoxGridInput" type="text" value="' + inDatum.replace(/"/g, '&quot;') + '">';
		},

should probably include the full list of HTML entities... grid must have a utility routine to do this already

As far as I know, the only REQUIRED replacement is the quotation mark as it would terminate the value string. Other characters SHOULD only be replaced if they do not belong the document character set.

DojoX Grid and EnhancedGrid are deprecated in favor of ​dgrid and ​gridx.

You should upgrade your code to use one of those two grids.

We will consider patches to the old DojoX Grid code though.
