I've got a <select> form element that contains values that include escaped ampersands. eg, <select> <option value="This & That">This & That</option> </select>
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 & 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?
