you will want to wrap it in "HTMLEDITFORMAT()"
so your input would look like:
<input type="text" name="txtFName" value="#htmleditformat(FORM.txtFName)#">

Subject: input boxes ande double quotes
Hey All,
Old issue, but I'm checking the consensus....
Let's say we have this:
<input type="text" name="txtFName" value="#FORM.txtFName#">
and the form posts back to itself which kicks in some validation....an error
is found and the form is re-displayed along with an error message and
populated with exatly what the user typed (pretty standard stuff).
So all works fine unless you start throwing some double quotes into that
input box. If you do that then the value can be truncated (let's say they
entered "Biff" as the name...with the double quotes). That means the HTML
produced on re-display is like this:
<input type="text" name="txtFName" value=""Biff"">
So now the value is technically "" or blank because it got truncated (you
now have value="" and Biff"").
So what does everybody do about this?
TIA
Cheers
