Special Characters

[Guest]

I am able to save special characters, but I can't use them in the cfselect as a value.  I tried using the value like "5''6''", but it doesn't work either.  Any clues?

<option value='5&##039;6&quot;' <cfif variables.height is "5''6''">selected="selected"</cfif> >5'6"</option>

try

<option value='5&##039;6&quot;' <cfif variables.height is '5''6"'>selected="selected"</cfif> >5'6"</option>

Note the use of single quotes.

You can also use 2 double quotes as follows:

<option value='5&##039;6&quot;' <cfif variables.height is "5""6""">selected="selected"</cfif> >5'6"</option>

But in my opinion that is more difficult to read.
