The double quote needs to be converted to " before using the updHtmlVar procedure.
Your html probably looks something like this. . . <INPUT type="text" name="myfield" value="/%myfield%/"> Assume the value of "myfield" is '"some data' The resulting html will look like this. <INPUT type="text" name="myfield" value=""some data"> This will cause the browser to display blanks in the form field. Changing the double-quote to " will prevent this from happening. --- In [email protected], Mel Rothman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This is working fine for me. > > I tested with the sample program, TEMPLATE5, with inputs into the > customer name field up to 40 characters containing any number of > quotation marks.
