Ajax Yahoo menu does not seem to work

I am running 1.3.2 and just installed the yahoo menu by ajax for my categories sidebox. First of all there is a categories.php file have i am confused where it goes, does it replace the file in the modules/sideboxes or does it replace the file in admin folder? Regardless to say i have tried both with no success. The problem is when i click on a category with sub-categories. It brings up a box saying "There was a problem with the request", it works fine when i don't have any sub-cats, but if i do it just stalls. So i don't know if i was suppose to edit some more files or what, but the install.txt didn't say to do anything. I appreciate all the help from community.

Thanks,

Brad

There is a thread related to this module, please refer to it for more info.
Yahootreemenu with ajax.

For the categories.php, put in the root directory of your Zen Cart install.

.

i appreciate the suggestion but i have read that post twice before i ever posted. After about hour of debugging i realized the directory is not openning because one of my categories name uses a "&" symbol. So some where in the help file it should say DON"T USE "&" with this module.

Thanks

Some reference.

unescaped & which should be written as &
Cause:

"&" in HTML is a special character to note the beginning of a entity, like "&nbsp".
In XHTML, a entity must also end by a ";", for example " "
Solution:

Please replace "&" by "&"

And this also related to some other codes, please refer to related docs.

Your a smarter better person then me seethrou, i appreciate the help. I will make sure i watch out for that in the future.

Hi!
This is my mistake.

To fix it:
in the file /categories.php (in the root, not in the /includes/modules/sideboxes), line ~36

Replace

$categories[$groups_cat->fields['categories_id']]['categories_name'] = $groups_cat->fields['categories_name'];

With

$categories[$groups_cat->fields['categories_id']]['categories_name'] = htmlentities($groups_cat->fields['categories_name']);

Good luck!
Andrew.
