OK. thanks for the response. Now that I understand the issue, I can decide what to do to accommodate the change.

Also, thank you for your continued work on improving the plugin.

Hi Roland, I see that you issued out Version 2.3.3 which in the change log indicates that it has fixed this issue. I have tried it out and only seems to partially work. When some fields are blank padded the updated plugin trims blanks, on other fields it does not. It is not obvious to me why some and not others.

I have two fields, one named’artist’ and one named ‘title’. the updated plugin will trim out blanks on searches using the ‘title’ field but not on the ‘artist’ field. I can provide a link to demonstrate the issue if you need to see it. Both fields are “Text-line”

Thanks for sending out the update Roland!

Update, I dactivated the plugin and reinstalled the latest version and am still getting the critical error. Here is the log:

I have done further investigation of the issue. The issue is the same as the issue reported here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70101412/how-to-make-datatable-responsive-in-bootstrap-tabs

Now that I am aware of why the issue occurs, I can craft a workaround for it. Thanks

Thanks Peter, but I’m missing something. How would the javascript above be run if the script tags have been disabled in the dynamic hyperlink?

You have suggested using Macros, but can you post what the macro would look like if it included the above code when rendering the dynamic hyperlink?

Hi Peter,

Thanks, yes I’m aware of Macros and I use them to compare the state of a column value to determine if a hyperlink should be displayed.

Will macros be able to handle it based upon the value of a javascript variable on the page? That is essentially what I would need. I’ve read the link on Macros and it doesn’t give information on how the conditions of the macro are parsed.

Thanks again for the help!

Thank you Peter for the quick response! Yes it fixes the problem for me with single quotes.

As a general question regarding column value substitution, can you confirm that HTML encoded text being retrieved from the database are being unescaped prior to being embedded in the HTML string being generated by the plugin? Thanks again.
