jQuery auto complete adding escape characters to the results ater arrow up or down

Have a look here:

Does anyone have a quick and simple fix for this?

Basically the html escape characters are being added in the input field if the user arrows up, or down.

Fixed!

http://jsfiddle.net/zK3Wc/32/

With the help of some googling and another S.O. Question; under the "focus" object, I added this:

        $( ".project" ).val( ui.item.label );
        function decode(input){
          return $('<div/>').html(input).text();
        }
        $(function(){
          $('.project').keydown(function(){
            $($(this)).val(decode($($(this)).val()));
          });
        });

Hopefully this helps anyone else that runs into this problem!

Tested in IE 7,8,9 FF, Chrome and Safari.

In your projects array, you have unicode character references. If your website is encoded as UTF-8, this may not be necessary.
