As far as I know single quotes are not "standard" html....but the
browsers let you get away with it....

Use a double quote....and then when you need to write out the field name
use the ASP Replace() function

strString = Replace(Rs("fieldname"),"'","''")

replacing a single instance of a quote with 2 insances of the quote will
fix it for you.

As you've noticed,  value=  is an HTML attribute, so you have to use
HTML
entities within string.  In this case:

"  for  "
'  for  '

So, you've to make a wrapper function to change quotes and apostrophes
into
entities.

Good luck

Fong
