    ampersand in dropdown list option causes error

    Hi Guys

    I've created a form with a dropdown list, and one of the entries is "B&B".  This is written as B&B in the frontend, but when trying to edit in the backend an error is thrown when I click on the "edit items" link.

    Error: uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: &B

    (from firebug) and

    Line: 1 Error: Exception thrown and not caught

    in IE.  I'm unable to edit the items any more.

    (4.0.3, IIS6. .net3.5)

    Cheers,
    Dan

    Also, brackets ( ) in options also throws and error and prevents editing the items.

    workaround:  edit the values in UFPrevalues table to remove & and () values.
