I suspect you are trying to put it inside a input element, something like
this:

<input type="text" name="myText" value=""this is a test"">

which equates to:

<input type="text" name="myText" value="" this is a test"">

so the value="", and the browser doesn't understand: this is a test"" as an
attribute, so it ignores it. Replace " with &quot;

: the message gets written to the database as is including the double
: quotes, but disappears from the page..sort of weird..
:
: any ideas why this might be happening?
