Chris, My first attempt is not correct, sorry. If you include the quotes for the value= " " you will not get the required result. It is my understanding (please correct me, all you experts out there, if I am mistaken) that correct HTML coding does include the quotes. Thus the correct ASP code should read as follows:
<% Dim strSize strSize = "5" x 7""%> <input type="text" value="<%=strSize %>"> regards Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Robinson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 23, 2004 1:47 PM Subject: Re: [AspClassicAnyQuestionIsOk] How do i display 5" X 7" in an input field? > > Chris, > The problem is caused by the quotes.
