Hi,
if in title of checkbox I use ' the frontend became \' , in this mode the filter works but isn't nice to watch.

Then, which kind of code can I use to write:
MOBILITA' RIDOTTA
AND
ACCESSIBILITA'
?

for example for À : decimal code (À), exadecimal code (À), nominal code (À)?

or for ': ' ' '

Regards
L.

Okay I see now, thank you for the extra information. I was just running some tests and it looks like you can use an HTML entity instead:

MOBILITA&rsquo; RIDOTTA
...OR...
MOBILITA&apos; RIDOTTA

I'll ask my 2nd tier support team to take a look and let me know if there's a better workaround. Please stand by and I will update you soon.

Hi,
thanks for your replay.
If I use
MOBILITA’ RIDOTTA
...OR...
MOBILITA' RIDOTTA

it looks nice but the filter doesn't work.
I am staying by and I wait your help.
Thanks a lot
