Autocomplete show HTML entities on selection

Title:

BI{code} ?

I'm using the Autocomplete control and the datasource I'm using has strings containing accented characters, such as 'é'. In the autocomplete popup list, it shows fine, but when I select an option, instead of showing the character, it prints the HTML entity (eg.: é). Is there a config/adjustment I can do to correct this ? I also have to use the selected value as a parent for another control.

  you can edit awem.js, find var entityMap = { "&": "&amp;", "<": "&lt;", and add "é" : "&#233;" you can set the autocomplete as a parent, you could also use [https://demo.aspnetawesome.com/AutocompleteDemo#Storing-selected-value-key-in-a-separate-field-using-PropId PropId ] to have separate input storing the Key of the selected item, and set that hidden input as parent instead of autocomplete you can also use [https://demo.aspnetawesome.com/AjaxRadioListDemo#oremotesearch combobox with remote search] --- another option would be to not encode the values at the server by setting false in KeyContent and encode the text yourself: text = text.Replace("\"", "&quot;").Replace("'", "&#39").Replace("<", "&lt;").Replace(">", "&gt"); new KeyContent(id, text, false)
