Dropdown – commas in options?

[steveswd]

Hi, firstly great plugin! I really hope there is a simple solution to my problem.

Basically I would like to include a comma inside a drop down menu item. In other words I want my drop down menu options to look something like this:

Item 1 blah
Item 2 blah
Item 3 blah, blah and blah

Please note the comma in Item 3! Unfortunately this doesn’t work since commas are used to separate the field options in the drop down edit box.

I found a solution that sort of works, basically I added “ampersand hash 0044 semicolon” (this is the html entity code for a comma, I had to type out the words here as it doesn’t show up otherwise.) This works as long as I don’t make any further changes to my custom fields. As soon as I do the entity gets replaced with a regular comma, which then means the above drop down menu looks like this:

Item 1 blah
Item 2 blah
Item 3 blah,
blah and blah <—- I don’t want this to be a separate option!

So, is there a simple way to add commas in drop down menu options?
