Menu Changing & to &

[JoshuaBarnette]

How can I turn off/stop the Menu Manager changing & to &? I use various codes in my menu such as ´ or " however, the system is always changing the & to & so that the codes do not work correctly. I appreciate any assistance that you can give me.

Thanks,
Joshua Barnette

[tsw]

menu field creates html entities by default from all characters, so you can just use " ' / \ and so on without thinking for the html entities.

the problem is that if you use & it will still parse through that and change it to & (yeah, its a stupid function

hmm I wonder what would happen if we first run it through htmlunentities and then again through html entities...

The problem I have when I use just the characters " ' / \ etc. is that my XHTML code will not validate and my page shows an error. Like everyone else I do everything possible to make sure the code validates. I am changing the "Guy's Team" on the menu  to reflect the ' and the "Girl's Team" to reflect using ' by changing this you will be able to see the error I get. The site address is http://www.inmanchristian.com/index.php, the site is still in development so the entire url is necessary.

Those are page names, menu text, you should be able to just type in the name and the menu manager will spit it out normal,,,,
but looking at your code/source view it looks like you are using a diff. menu setup unless you did a lot of modifications to a menu template...

I did make changes to the CSS Menu Template. That template code is pasted below:

{* CSS Menu Template *}
{if $count > 0}

{foreach from=$nodelist item=node}
{repeat string="" times=$node->prevdepth-$node->depth}
{if $node->depth type != 'separator' and $node->current == true}
  depth > 1 and $node->type != 'separator' and $node->current == true}
  depth type != 'separator'}
  depth > 1 and $node->type != 'separator'}
  depth type == 'separator'}
 
{elseif $node->depth > 1 and $node->type == 'separator'}
 
{else}
{/if}
{if $node->type == 'sectionheader' or ($node->current == true and $node->haschildren == true)}
onclick="expandcontent('{$node->alias}_sub_menu')" href="#menu" onmouseover="window.status=':: {sitename} ¤ {$node->menutext} ::'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''" {if $node->accesskey != ''}accesskey="{$node->accesskey}" {/if}{if $node->tabindex != ''}tabindex="{$node->tabindex}" {/if}{if $node->titleattribute != ''}title="{$node->titleattribute}"{/if}{if $node->target ne ""} target="{$node->target}"{/if}>{$node->menutext}
