Display 'special' characters?

Post by paulemasters »

Hello:

In order to save space (see my post about too many radio buttons), I have greatly compressed some radio button labels/titles. In order to make things a little clearer (if possible ) I am using some special characters.
The plus sign (+) works OK, but the ampersand (&) won't display. There is no space - it is just ignored.
I looked in my JAVAScript book but did not find anything about that.
I tried \& but that had the same result.
I tried && - same thing.
Tried using single quotes instead of double - no joy.

In other languages I have used, if something is in double (and with some exceptions) single quites the characters aren't interpreted.

Is there a way to have the & show up in a button label text?

Thanks for any help.
