You can escape double quotes in CFML simply by using two quotes next to each other:
<cfset myString = "This is ""my"" string"> In other languages, such as JavaScript, this can be done using a backslash: var myString = "This is \"my\" string"; You should also remove the ##'s from the variable, status_code. Also note that you should only need to use ##'s when you are outputting to the screen, or when you are evaluating a variable in a string. <cfset myVar = "World"> <cfoutput>#myVar#</cfoutput> <cfset myString = "Hello #myVar#!"> Enjoy! ---- SCOTT VAN VLIET BRD.WRKS INTERACTIVE T: 714.469.6805 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Ian Lurie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, July 28, 2002 7:36 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: quotation marks" and their rules...
