My Configuration: Joomla 1.5.6, Community Builder 1.1
I added a Drop Down (Single Select) field to my registration page. The field is a required field. In the selection list one of the strings contains an ampersand. When I complete all of the required fields in the registration form, including selecting the item with the ampersand in my new field an error is displayed stating "This field is required".
In trying to debug it, it appears that the javascript that is generated by comprofiler.html.php is having issues handling the ampersand. I have tried "&","&" and "&" with no success.
Here is a sample of the items in the selection list:
"Yale"
"Washington & Jefferson" <--- PROBLEM STRING
"Princeton"
"Texas A&M" <--- PROBLEM STRING
The work around is to just use "and" instead of "&" in the string but I do have several strings like "Texas A&M" where you would typically use the "&".
Any help would be much appreciated.
