dhtmlXGrid addRow problem with special characters

I am having troubles with the addRow function in the dhtmlxgrid API. I have seen the suggestions to use CDATA or escape the text, but if I try either one in the addRow function, I see the result of the escaped text or the CDATA text in the grid. What am I doing wrong?

Doing nothing prevents me from parsing the XML doc using the PHP DocumentDOM::loadXML() function with errors like this:

DOMDocument::loadXML() [function.DOMDocument-loadXML]: xmlParseEntityRef: no name in Entity, line: 1

When working on client side you need not to use escaping or CDATA while adding new rows. ( The CDATA has sense while loading data from XML, but it useless while adding new rows  dynamically on client side)

I'm not sure in which scenario you are using mentioned functionality, but if you need to parse results of serialization, you can try to use
    grid.setSerializationLevel(false,false,false,false,false,true)
Which will add CDATA sections automatically while data serialization.
