Chris, The problem is caused by the quotes. Your ASP server is reading them as ending the attribute value, whereas you want them to be part of the attribute value.
The ASP variable solution would be <% Dim strSize strSize = "'7"" x 5""'"%> <input type="text" value="<%=strSize %>"> In HTML to 'escape' the quote, use the text string '"' <input type="text" value="7" x 5""> ----- Original Message ----- From: "christopher andrada" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2004 8:44 PM Subject: [AspClassicAnyQuestionIsOk] How do i display 5" X 7" in an input field? > > > Hi All, > > I'm facing a strange problem in putting a DB driven > data to display into input type=text. > > for example: > <% > size = 5" X 7" > %> > > if I do it this way, > <input type="text" value="<%=size %>"> > > the input field will show "5" only.
