Topic: Issue with double quotes in Select field
Hi,
I am encountering an issue with a select form field that contains measurements in inches (depicted as a double quotation character). When there are double quotes in an item label (either entered as " or "), and that item is the default select, then the MDB element displays " instead of the double quote mark.
Any solution for this problem would be highly appreciated.
I have actually found another, possibly better solution for this myself, by changing line 20,470 in the mdb.js file from:
var sanitizedLabelHtml = this.$materialSelectInitialOption.replace(/"/g, '"');
to
var sanitizedLabelHtml = this.$materialSelectInitialOption;
Can you confirm that this change would not affect any of the other functionality of the select from field? It doesn't seem like it would.

This shouldn't break anything in your Material Select
Ok, it seems like a bug. We'll fix that. As a temporary workaround, you can use double single-quote and it'll be displayed properly.
