Ah.

It’s been fixed in the nightlies. I was hoping that this one line fix would do it:

If dojo didn’t ignore escaped characters, that would be so kewl.

put ‘\x3c 70′ into a select option, and you get ‘\x3c 70′ rendered in your combo box. Nice.

It ignores me. How rude!

There must be some special dojo thing.

You can enter it as an escaped character sequence.

‘\x3C’ is less-than, if you like hexadecimal (I do).
