Converting symbol to string

Question

var TitleVal = encodeURIComponent($("[title='Title Required Field']").val()); // Title has value "car & bus"
//decodeURIComponent(TitleVal); 

var allOptions = document.querySelectorAll("[title='Name'] option"); //Name is other column,

[].some.call(allOptions, function(option) {
        if (option.innerHTML == TitleVal) {
            option.selected = "selected";
            return true;
        }
    }); 

how would I make the symbol in string as normal string?

Answer 1

A minor change and it worked..

TitleVal =encodeURIComponent($("[title='Title Required Field']").val());

var allOptions = document.querySelectorAll("[title='Name'] option");

[].some.call(allOptions, function(option) {
    if (encodeURIComponent(option.text) == TitleVal) {
        option.selected = "selected";
        return true;
    }
});
