Menu text with ® or other html equivalent characters

[mmlbrenda]

I have a Menu where I might have HTML characters other than  . I cannot remove these items from the menu such as ® Is there a way that I can get around this?
URL: http://surlatable.marketlive.com
Search for Anolon. Then choose a link where the product name has Anolon®
Add to cart.
We are on Version 5.732 of the menu.

Hi,

I'm not sure what the problem is. You can use the

Code: Select all

® 

or you can use

Code: Select all

® 

both will put a ® in the menu. Both of the following give you Anolon® Advanced 10-Piece Set

Code: Select all

aI("text=Anolon® Advanced 10-Piece Set;");

Code: Select all

aI("text=Anolon® Advanced 10-Piece Set;");

Hope this helps.

After 9am PST on 8/23/06 you will be able to see this behavior on a server.
The Shopping Cart submenu is still "breaking" when menu text element has ®
I have upgraded the menu to Version 5.756

To reproduce issue:
http://surlatable.marketlive.com/product/id/124660.do
Add this item to cart. In top nav mouse over the Shopping Cart. You will see a summary of your cart with a column for product name and a column for qty.
Next go to:
http://surlatable.marketlive.com/produc ... ie+pans.do

Add this item to cart Note the output ends for the menu item immediately after the registered trademark symbol.

Is there something that I was missing? Or something that I need to change?

Hi,

If you are adding HTML to your menu item, it's always best to enclose it inside back quotes, this means that the menu will not get confused if you add = and ; characters.

Something like this:

aI("text=`<table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=center><tr><td colspan=2 class=rule><img src='/images/en_US/global/globalgraphics/spacer01.gif' width='1' height='1' border='0'></td></tr><tr><td class=cartmenuhdr>item name</td><td class=cartmenuhdr align=center>qty</td></tr><tr><td class=cartmenuitem><a href=/product/bakeware/bakesheets%2C+jellyroll+pans+%26+silicone+mats/%27bistro%27+ivory+candle.do>'Bistro' Ivory Candle</a></td><td class=cartmenuitem align=center>1</td></tr><tr><td class=cartmenuitem><a href=/product/bakeware/bakesheets%2C+jellyroll+pans+%26+silicone+mats/anolon%26%23174-+nonstick+cookie+pans.do>Anolon® Nonstick ...</a></td><td class=cartmenuitem align=center>1</td></tr><tr><td class=cartmenuitem><a href=/product/bakeware/bakesheets%2C+jellyroll+pans+%26+silicone+mats/chrome+cooling+racks.do>Chrome Cooling Racks</a></td><td class=cartmenuitem align=center>1</td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 class=rule><img src='/images/en_US/global/globalgraphics/spacer01.gif' width='1' height='1' border='0'></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2><img src='/images/en_US/global/globalgraphics/spacer01.gif' width='1' height='7' border='0'></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 align=center><a href=/basket.do?nav=%2Fproduct%2Fid%2F100381%2F100392%2F120906&from=detail><img src='/images/en_US/local/localbuttons/viewcart_btn.gif' border=0 alt='View Cart'></a></td></tr></table>`");


Hope this helps,

Also, you are way down level. For full support here on the forum you need to be running the current version, which is 5.756. Many fixes and improvements.
