<td align='center'>
No email addresses or fax numbers found for this account

I am getting Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: for='gh'g#ff.bn']

Answer 1

I copied this code:
<input type="checkbox" name="<%= contact.contact_value %>" id="<%= contact.contact_value %>" class="custom" />
<label for="<%= contact.contact_value %>"><br/></label>
and added it to an existing app view, adding a variable, removing contact. and removing all of the double quotes to make a test:
<% contact_value = "'gh'g#ff.bn'" %>
<input type="checkbox" name=<%= contact_value %> id=<%= contact_value %> class="custom" />
<label for=<%= contact_value %>><br/><%= contact_value %></label>
I get:
without any errors. Give it a try without any quotes around the <%= contact.contact_value %> in the view code.
