Checkbox Value - Unrecognized expression in IE8

Question

I am using IE8 and for some reason, the following snippet of code:

<td>
<input type="checkbox" id="MOBILE_TECH_1" name="p_v47" value="4G&#x2F;LTE"  ><label for="MOBILE_TECH_1">4G&#x2F;LTE</label>
</td>

is giving me this error:

Message: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [value=4G/LTE]
Line: 4
Char: 13976
Code: 0

Mozilla works fine for me as well but it needs to work in IE8. — tonyf, May 27 '14 at 03:52
Why would you not just use a forward slash instead of the html entity? That might work. — christian314159, May 27 '14 at 03:59

Since I was only having the issue in IE8 and not in Chrome or Firefox browsers and due to time constraints, I simply performed some backend data modifications to ensure that there were no "/" within the data I was processing.

This solved my issue.
