  Steps:
  a) Pressing the Test ? button the datagrid's layout is
  corrupted, no column value is output related to row 3.
  b) Pressing the Test ?? button the datagrid ignores the text
  within the symbols so the left over 1 is output related to row
  3.
  c) Pressing the Test ?Script? button the datagrid stops loading
  and effectively terminates at the associated row 3.

  string so that the user can choose to escape the HTML
  strings when passing data to the datagrid.
