Using Special Character +

[bkurzbuch]

I have a template that use's "Ultimate Advisor and Ultimate Advisor Plus" as a drop down menu in Marcom and coded that way in the template. The customer would like me to shorten the drop downs to just "UA & UA+". Is using the "+" symbol going to cause me a problem or should I just use "UA Plus" instead. Thanks for the help.

You should ask that question on the Marcom Central forum.

Since my man concern was changing the javascript coding in the template. I posted it here. Thanks for the reply - I'll try the other forum.

You mean the values of the data fields in FusionPro are going to have plus symbols in them? I don't see how that could possibly cause a problem. The plus sign isn't really a "special" character to FusionPro, in the way that, say, certain characters have special meanings in tagged markup, such as < (less than) or & (ampersand). Nor is it a "special" character in the sense of a 16-bit Unicode character.

Hi Dan

Thank You Very Much. That was exactly what I was looking for.

 

Have A Great Day

It seemed to me like your concern was editing the values that are displayed within a drop down menu. Being without the option to add a drop down menu to any of the templates I create in FusionPro, I assumed your question was specific to MarcomCentral.

 

To answer your question as it relates to JavaScript: having a plus sign in a field value should not cause any problems because it's interpreted as a literal string.
