I take it your adding the value of your drop down to part of the query string that makes the xmlhttprequest, something along the lines of:

'myajaxpage.do?value=' + document.myForm.myDropdown.value;

try using the javascript escape function:

'myajaxpage.do?value=' + escape( document.myForm.myDropdown.value );

Hi guys,
I know that this is not the AJAX list but I know people like Frank Z. et all 
worked on it before.  I am seeing problem with populating a dropdown using ajax 
when the data contains ampersand.
For example: My collection works when I have two values for the country field: 'United States', 'Australia'
But, it doesn't work when I have values like: 'United States & US Vargin 
Islands', 'Australia'
Can somebody please help.
Thanks,
Bob
