Free jqgrid uses setting

autoencode: true

grid definition contains:

                $grid.jqGrid({
                    url: '/admin/API/Entity',
                    datatype: "json",
                    editurl:'/admin/Detail/Edit'

In inline edit <a character is entered to Nimetus column and data is posted to server in url-encoded format.

ASP.NET MVC4 controller uses reflection to call method which reads this value using ControllerContext.HttpContext.Request.Form["Nimetus"]

This access causes exception

System.Web.HttpRequestValidationException was unhandled by user code

  Message=A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (Nimetus="<a").

Exception occurs at line

ControllerContext.HttpContext.Request.Form["Nimetus"]

How to fix the issue ?

Edit controller method signature is

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
[HandleJsonException]
public JsonResult Edit(string _entity, string _dokdata, int? _dokumnr, string _rowid,
    int? _vmnr, string _isik)

Update

Document header data is passed as _dokdata parameter using

    extraparam: { _dokdata: getEevaFormData },

in

   $.extend(true,$.jgrid.inlineEdit, {
        position: "beforeSelected",
        focusField: false,
        restoreAfterError: false,
        afterrestorefunc: function(rowId) {
            updateButtonState($grid, rowId);
            setFocusToGrid();
            lastSelectedRow = undefined;
        },
        aftersavefunc: function(rowId, response) {

            afterSaveFuncAfterAdd.call(this, rowId, response);

        },

        oneditfunc: function(rowId) {
            onInlineEdit(rowId);
            updateButtonState($grid, rowId);
        },
        keys: true,
        rowID: '_empty',
        useDefValues: true,
        extraparam: { _dokdata: getEevaFormData },
        errorfunc: errorfunc
    });

Controller _dokdata parameter contains now function definition with " replaced to "

function getEevaFormData() {
    return JSON.stringify($("#_form").serializeArray());
}

Actually it should contain json string which is result this function call

I reverted encoding of ' and / to ' and / made to in free jqGrid. See the commit with the description of the reason. I think the part of jqGrid need be changed, but I revert to the previous behavior now.
