Hi, Thanks to Ferenc we have patched this up temporarily - you no longer see a backslash, you see the text "backslash". How did this happen? Easy - in the database we inserted '\\', '£' and '€' as options for the election. MySQL escaped \\ to \, which gets inserted in the javascript that constructs the candidate list, resulting in option4='\', instead of '\\'. We will get it fixed properly tomorrow by replacing € with €, and £ with £ and \\ replaced with \\\\. In the meantime, text it is. Cheers, Dave.
