Issue with quotes

[bramdebouvere]

When you select a text that contains quotes, only the part before the quote is inserted in the textbox.
Example text:

This is "text" with quotes

After selecting the value, only the following text will be in the textbox

This is

This issue should be fixed in the renderItem function:

function (item, search)
{
  // escape special characters
  search = search.replace(/[-\/\\^$*+?.()|[\]{}]/g, '\\$&');
  var re = new RegExp("(" + search.split(' ').join('|') + ")", "gi");
  return '<div class="autocomplete-suggestion" data-val="' + item + '">' + item.replace(re, "<b>$1</b>") + '</div>';
}

Change this code:

'<div class="autocomplete-suggestion" data-val="' + item + '">'

To this code:

'<div class="autocomplete-suggestion" data-val="' + item.replace(/"/g, '&quot;') + '">'

Further change it from @bramdebouvere answer to:

'<div class="autocomplete-suggestion" data-val="' + item.replace(/"/g, '&quot;').replace(/'/g, '&apos;') + '">'

This will also account for single quotation marks.

Thank you! This just saved a fairly big headache.
