HTMLENCODE(row[column]) doesn't work.. Any suggestions?

I have code to output rows and columns from a controller's data member (a SObject[] collection).

 

The code below works fine. It iterates throough each row in rpt.data, and through each column name in rpt.parsed_clean_field_names, and using a bracket notation, outputs the row[column] just fine.

 

<apex:repeat value="{!rpt.data}" var="row">

     <apex:repeat value="{!rpt.parsed_clean_field_names}" var="header">

              <apex:outputText value="{!row[header]}" escape="false"/>

     </apex:repeat>

</apex:repeat>

 

But when I try to use HTMLENCODE to encode the data (since it may contain characters that I want encoded), I do this (the red bold is the only difference): and it breaks

 

<apex:repeat value="{!rpt.data}" var="row">

     <apex:repeat value="{!rpt.parsed_clean_field_names}" var="header">

              <apex:outputText value="{!HTMLENCODE(row[header])}" escape="false"/>

     </apex:repeat>

</apex:repeat>

 

with the following error message:

Incorrect parameter type for function 'HTMLENCODE()'. Expected Text, received Boolean

Error is in expression '{!HTMLENCODE(row[header])}' in component <apex:outputText> in page exportreport3
 
Apparently HTMLENCODE doesn't recognize the row[column] "getter" notation.
 
Any suggestions as to how I could fool HTMLENCODE into thinking that row[column] is a Text and not a Boolean??
 
Thank you

Well not sure.

But can you try something like this

 

 <apex:outputText value="{!HTMLENCODE(TEXT(row[header]))}" escape="false"/>

Good idea..  But it caused Salesforce itself to fail, and not even return a valid HTML page, with the following error.  I've never seen this before.  Any thoughts?

I have also a same requirement where i need to render the HTMLENCODE for <apex:outputtext> without knowing the dataType it should work for all the fields types. As they are dynamic fields. Some are date, boolean, text types
It is also iterating over <apex:repeat></apex:repeat> over dymnic fields in object query.
Getting below error.
Incorrect parameter type for function 'HTMLENCODE()'. Expected Text, received Boolean
