Hi,    I have text_field_with_auto_complete , The problem i faced here is when type the text like "firstname&lastname".When i get value of text field in controller i only get the firstname. i couldn't get text value after '&' symbol. i guess the & symbol is the problem here. but i need to use the & symbol in my text. How can i overcome this. can any one please tell me.how can i over come this issue.

Probably the same problem that observe_field used to have (see the
last section here: :with or :without you: link_to_remote's mysterious parameter - Space Vatican)
