The installation instructions for tables.module says to order the HTML filter so it happens first. You have to do this, unless you're going to allow TD/TR/TH/TABLE elements, or otherwise (by default) they'll get eaten. However, & gets transformed to & by the HTML filter as well (it appears to, by empircal observation). I haven't debugged this a whole lot, but it seems like it might be the case. This makes the horizontal cell join somewhat incompatible with 'HTML Filter' (which most people would want to have).

Should the tables.module look for & AND & as well?

Regards,
Chris

I think that it used to work with HTML filter. It stopped working for me at the same time as I switched my development site to 4.7 so I thought that this was something new to the way that form submissions worked in 4.7, but perhaps it was somthing that was changed in the HTML filter. I to have not really tried to figure it out. (This was functionality I added, but never really used, so I didn't care that much when it broke)

I think the "&" may have been a particularly bad character to use for this functionality. I have been thinking of changing it, but have not yet figured out what to chang it to. In the meantime, your solution of searching for both is probably a good idea.
