A simple combobox cell renders as a self-closing TD in Internet Explorer when it contains a single < (less-than sign)

Version 2.1

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rows>
<head>
<column align="left" sort="na" type="co" width="40">Quantity
<option value="=">=</option>
<option value=">">></option>
<option value=">=">>=</option>
<option value="<"><</option>
<option value="<="><=</option>
<option value="<>"><></option>
</column>
<column align="left" sort="na" type="edn" width="80">#cspan</column>
</head>
<row id="1">
<cell><</cell>
<cell>1</cell>
</row>
</rows>

A simple combobox cell renders as a self-closing TD in Internet Explorer when it contains a single < (less-than sign).

This causes the simple combobox cell to appear as empty, missing a value, or broken. However, the user can still use the combo and the source value is retained and updated with each change.

Please advise how to overcome this issue.

Try to change the column type as cotxt

<column align="left" sort="na" type="cotxt"
