& in String – escape it and live with the jerk

& a m p ;

It’s a serious bug, neither & nor & are safe, both crash Chrome!

Hi,
sorry for the delay. We’re working to fix this ASAP, for the moment you please use
“& a m p;” (without spaces) instead of &

My message above didn’t display properly:

“& a m p;” (without spaces) doesn’t work,
“& # 3 8 ;” (without spaces) works in preview only.

Hi,
just released an update that fixes the issue.

Generating the short code now works and it looks much nicer when the ampersand occurs.

But my shortcode

[typed string0=”bei XING” string1=”bei XING, LinkedIn” string2=”bei XING, LinkedIn & Co.” typeSpeed=”20″ startDelay=”5000″ backSpeed=”10″ backDelay=”800″]

still breaks backend and frontend with Avada Theme on Google Chrome.

I click on preview in new tab and when it reaches the & both tabs crash.

Hi,
just published an update.

Not jet ??

Crashes Preview and Frontend in Chrome, Chrome incognito, Firefox. Backend likes the amp now.

Hi,
which version are you using? I had a quick look and the JS code is different from the one inside the latest version.
