Hi,

If you use tagfield and receive data with special characters from DB then jquery.tags.js will return the html entities. Is there a way to stop that? How can i get the UTF-8 Text from my DB field to the inner HTML input field? I have tried a .replace on line 126 jquery.tags.js but without success.

How can i get back a plain "&"???

                        for (i = 0; i < matches.length; i++) {
                            html += '<' + settings.tagWrap + ' class="_tag_suggestion">' + matches + '</' + settings.tagWrap + '>';
                        }

Can anybody help?

Hi, problem still not solved, yet.

In DB the field i am querying has got the Value "Carsten & Carsten".
But the following line from jquery.tags.js returns "Carsten & Carsten".

html += '<' + settings.tagWrap + ' class="_tag_suggestion">' + matches + '</' + settings.tagWrap + '>';

Has anybody an idea?

I have just put the following code to line 279 of jquery.tags.js

 // replace with jQuery version
            tagMatches = $(tagMatches).click(function (ev) {
                if (ev.target.nodeName.toUpperCase() == settings.tagWrap.toUpperCase() && $(ev.target).is('._tag_suggestion')) {
                    chooseTag(ev.target.innerHTML.replace(/&amp;/g, "&"));
					// alert(ev.target.innerHTML.replace(/&amp;/g, "&"));
                }                
            }).addClass(settings.matchClass);

seems to be working... ;-)
