Bug involving query and the ‘&’ character

[Mitchell T]

Hello Alexander,

I seem to have discovered a possible bug with the spjs.utility.queryItems function. The query does not seem to work if the queried text contains and ‘&’ character. For example the following query would not return results:

var qRes = spjs.utility.queryItems({
“listName”: “List_Name”,
“query”: “<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name=’Title’ /><Value Type=’Text’>foo&bar</Value></Eq></Where>”,
“viewFields”: [“foo”, “bar”]
});

Hi,
In a CAML query you must append “amp;” to your & – for some reason I cannot write it out here because the character is changed to a plain & when I submit the comment.

or wrap the value part of your query like this:

<Eq><FieldRef Name="Title" /><Value Type="Text"><![CDATA[foo&bar]]></Value></Eq>
