    Default problem? Quote marks in products name field

    I have a customer that needs to use a single quote in many of their product names for inches. The problem occurs when they preview the item and then hit the back button. Anywhere they placed the " for inches, it is prefixed with a backslash --> 1-1/2 \" for 1 1/2"

    I've tried using &quot to see if that works. It does but get's replaced by " when returning to the editor. Plus, I can't expect my customer to enter code each time they enter a product.

    Thanks.

    I have them in a few of my products and I've always just entered them directly into the name field. For example, see the link below where I have entered the product's name as "Mother's Bracelet".

    If you look at the source for this page, it doesn't have and \ or &quote either:

    <td class="pageHeading" valign="top">Mother's Bracelet</td>

    I just checked, though, and your right - it only occurs when you hit the back button. It inserts what is apparently an unnecessary /...wierd.[/url]
