Pull Down / ComboBox with HTML Entities

[mayankrjain]

Hi,

I need to have a pull down with values containing HTML entities (eg. Pound and Euro signs).

The problem is that when I define them as &#xxxx; where xxxx is suitably replaced for Pound and Euro -- they do not correctly show up while being displayed as the selected value in the combo box. Instead of the sign, their html-entity-version (&#xxxx) shows up upon select. However, upon clicking to view the available options of the pulldown the signs show up correctly.

Please see attached snapshot -- specifically the selected value Euro as the selected value (where it displays html entity) and the available options (where it shows correctly).

Thanks.

This suggests that you may be double-quoting the value. Please show your code for creating this valueMap and applying it to the SelectItem.
