Hello,

I have a custom select box profile field and one of the values has a (‘) in it.

I.E. “besoin d’aide”

Now it displays in the drop down select box as: “besoin d’aide”

How can I hide that backslash?

Thanks,
C.

It should have been handled by something like stripslashes when redisplaying. The backslash is an escape character to prevent the ‘ being seen as part of the script syntax and tripping things up or entering characters into the DB that could be mischievous.

You don’t say what versions of things you are running but if latest you might want to enter a bug ticket on the trac system using your BP login credentials.
