    Hi,
     If I put content such as M&T in the RadTickerItem it changes the  & to &. Is there a way to stop this from happening? In the code below the Ham & Eggs becomes Ham & Eggs.
    <telerik:RadTicker AutoStart="true" runat="server" ID="Radticker1" Loop="true">
        <Items>
            <telerik:RadTickerItem >Ham & Eggs</telerik:RadTickerItem>
            <telerik:RadTickerItem>M&T<telerik:RadTickerItem>
            <telerik:RadTickerItem>AT&T<telerik:RadTickerItem>
        </Items>
    </telerik:RadTicker>

    Hi Joe,

    By design the RadTicker control does not support '&' characters in its content and in your case I would recommend using the RadRotator control instead. You can configure the rotator to behave like a RadTicker control (not exactly but similar) and show the desired content as demonstrated in the following code sample:
    <telerik:RadRotator runat="server" ID="RadRotator1"
        ItemHeight="100px" Height="100px" Width="200px" ItemWidth="200px" FrameDuration="1"
        ScrollDuration="5000">
        <Items>
            <telerik:RadRotatorItem>
                <ItemTemplate>
                    Ham & Eggs
                </ItemTemplate>
            </telerik:RadRotatorItem>
            <telerik:RadRotatorItem>
                <ItemTemplate>
                    M&T
                </ItemTemplate>
            </telerik:RadRotatorItem>
            <telerik:RadRotatorItem>
                <ItemTemplate>
                    AT&T
                </ItemTemplate>
            </telerik:RadRotatorItem>
        </Items>
    </telerik:RadRotator>
