I am using jquery.ui.combify (<a href="https://github.com/steelheaddigital/jquery.ui.combify" rel="ugc">https://github.com/steelheaddigital/jquery.ui.combify</a>). <br />
<br />
The drop-down works very well and it does what I am looking for, especially the auto-complete<br />
<br />
However, when there is a text with &quot;&amp;&quot;&nbsp;in the drop-down, the value is not returned. <br />
<br />
As per the example below, value 2 is never returned when selected<br />
<br />
Any help is greatly appreciated<br />
<br />
Example<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;select id=&quot;TwoOptions&quot; name=&quot;Two.Options&quot;&gt;<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;option value=&quot;1&quot; selected=&quot;selected&quot;&gt;Some Option&lt;/option&gt;<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;option value=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Some &amp;&nbsp;Other Option&lt;/option&gt;<br />
