With the autocomplete plugin, I specify a list of names and email addresses such as the following:

Me <me@email.com>

You <you@email.com>

Obviously the angle brackets need to be escaped, so in code, the call looks something like this:

$.autocompleter (["Me <me@email.com>",

"You <you@email.com>"]);

When it is displayed in the List UI, it is correct -- the angle brackets appear rather than the escaped chars. This is because the fillList() function uses the html() method:

$("<li/>").html (...)

But when the value is selected (in selectCurrent), the raw HTML is set to the input control value, with this line:

$input.val(v);

This is a bug because now the escaped characters show up instead of the angle brackets.
