Assuming that you're using XHTML, you need to use the proper HTML
entity for which is: #38; I don't know that this will help your js
problems, but it will mean that your page will be valid XML.

Why not just escape(selected.value) the improperly encoded value to
convert the to amp;?

I've got a select form element that contains values that include escaped
ampersands. eg,
select
option value=This amp; ThatThis amp; That/option

I'm finding that when I use javascript to get the value of the (selected index of
the) field, the value that javascript gets has the , not amp;
My character set for the form is ISO-8859-1.
I'm using the form input on another page and want to stay XHTML... Does anyone
have any insight into why I wouldn't get the whole value and what I can do to
remedy the situation?
