I have a form for data entry modeled in part after the "Items.asp" form in the Classified ad project in
the Beginning ASP book.  In my text input fields, it is deleting everything after the first space.  Such as the venue for a concert
might be "AWA Arena".  When the next screen comes up populating the field with a request.form("venue") statement it only has "AWA"
in it.  I'm stumped by why it is dropping everything after the space when I set the maxlength of the input box to 30.

			<td>Concert Venue</td>
			<td><input type="text" name="venue" size="30" maxlength="30"</td>

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Tom you seem to be missing a > on your sample, ensure that your VALUE 
attribute is enclosed in quotes when you use the value on a form.

Thanks for the reply.  The > is in the file, I had missed it on my copy paste is all.  What I did
find was I was missing the " marks around the value clauses on my verify page and that's where the truncation was happening.

Not sure if this will work..but replace sText with your request.form

sText =3D Replace(sText, " ", " ")
