encoding ampersand in asp.net mvc kendo grid column filter

Question

While filtering the column values of the Kendo grid in asp.net mvc application if we use the text containing ampersand ie "some & value" , it throws a unterminated string error. The reason is that the "&" needs to be encoded in the query string. How to do it? Which event of the kendo grid should this be done at and how?

Answer 1

$(document).ready(function(){
      $("#grid").kendoGrid({
      //...
        columns: [
           {
               field: "Column containing HTML",
               encoded: false
           }
        ]          
      });
 });
