Ahh, because it's raw html and not in php. one choice would be to encapsulate it within php
<input type="text" value="<?php echo "He said, \"How'm I gonna get this to work?\", with a frown";?>" size="50"> or <input type="text" value=<?php echo htmlspecialchars("He said, \"How'm I gonna get this to work?\", with a frown"); ?>" size="50"> or stay with RAW HTML and use the correct <input type="text" value="He said, “How'm I gonna get this to work?”, with a frown" size="50"> Warren Vail -----Original Message----- From: Chris W.
