'&' in select list not displayed correctly #130

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
If you add an item to a select list with an '&' in the item, only the contents 
up to the & will be displayed unless there is an item selected below it.  For 
instance, if you had 3 items in a select control, 'Test1', 'Test1&Test2', 
'Test2', when 'Test1&Test2' is selected it will just display 'Test1'.  However, 
if 'Test1&Test2' and 'Test2' are selected, both are displayed correctly, 
'Test1&Test2, Test2'.

-- DropDownCheckList version: 1.1
-- jQuery version: 1.4.2
-- jQuery UI version: 1.8.4
-- Browser and version: IE8

Possible Fix:
On line 484 if you replace 'text += $(this).text();' with 'text += 
$(this).text().replace("&","&");' then the selected item will be displayed 
correctly.

Example Select:

<select id="Sample" multiple="multiple">
    <option value="1">Test1</option>
    <option selected="selected" value="2">Test1&Test2</option>
    <option value="3">Test2</option>
</select>

Note to self -- look for a jQuery service routine to handle special characters 
in text strings.

While building a test case for this problem, I was unable to duplicate it.  
Ampersands within option text seem to work fine, and I have included examples 
in the Demo and Tests pages.  If you have an example where it fails, please 
attach.

Attached is a test that shows that when the item with the & in it is selected 
only the portion before the & is displayed when the drop down list is closed.

Note: It displays correctly in Firefox 3.6.13, but not in IE8.

Hi,
the "possible fix" proposed don't resolve the problem, but move it...
now the content is ok, but the title of select list display a & instead of &.

Try this possible fix:
(version 1.1 on line 462):
replace 'controlLabel.html(text);' with 
'controlLabel.html(text.replace("&","&"));'

(version 1.2qa on line 502):
replace 'controlLabel.html(text);' with 
'controlLabel.html(text.replace("&","&"));'

Tested on IE6, IE7, IE8, FF3.1.16
