Problem solved :) B -----Original Message----- From: Heidi Belal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 3:07 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: quotes Dear All, I'm facing a problem and can't figure out the solution and would love anyones help. the situation is this: i have a form for users to fill, i take their entry and enter it in the database, then i take it and display it in a form so they can edit it. the problem is this: if uses enter double quotes my html gets mixed up and considers the users quote to be the end of the output value for the input field. Example: <form> <input type="text" value="myvalue"> </form> myvalue is a variable which is read from the DB and contains a double quote now if myvalue = this is a double quote " like this. the output html will look like this: <input type="text" value="this is a double quote " like this."> and the output like this: this is a double quote and that's it..cause it took the double quote as the end of the value field. now what do i do? how can i prevent that from happing?
