Hi to all,
I have table with string key which name is magname,
I want to list the information associatioed with any magazine on next page,
I use the follwing statment
<%do while not objrs2.eof %>
<option value= <%=(objrs2 ("magname")) %>>
<%=objrs2 ("magname")%>
</option>
<%objrs2.movenext%>
<% loop %>
Now on the nest page when I read the value of the select statament It does
take just fist word of the string:
example if magazine name is " the global magazine"
It took it as "the" just!!!!!!
Plz help me
thanks in advance

If you have spaces in your values then you must embed the value in quotes
(' or "" will do)
e.g. your html will be ...<option value=the global magazine>
but it needs to be ...<option value='the global magazine'>
(IMHO its good practice to put quotes around all values whether or not
they have spaces.)
