Our database stores the & symbol as & I have a select menu that
queries the database based on the selection. A sample selection:
<option value=\"Cats & Dogs\">Cats & Dogs</option>
After I click on Submit, the value gets posted as "Cats & Dogs." How
can I keep it just "Cats & Dogs"

Just curious: Why? The & is only necessary in HTML output, I
wouldn't store that in a database.

It also isn't necessary for textual presentation either (and in some
contexts it's unprofessional). Just spell out the word "and" if
possible. The only places I use & are in URLs and things where
it's already established by tradition, such as in acronyms like D&D
or R&D.
