I have a classic ASP page and I have an input field where users can enter a Title of a speech and the information is saved to the database and then i need to display this information in the same input field when the user re-opens the speech record. I was having problems displaying quotes and special characters but i'm now able to do this using:
<CODE>
     <INPUT.... VALUE="<%Server.HTMLEncode(varSpeechName)%>"
</CODE>
However, when testing i notice this: I am to enter the characters: <>
and i'm able to save these to the database but when i display these chars in the input field it must be thinking its html tags and it shows some HTML/javascript in the cell where i have a button for that record on the page. It shows:
<CODE DISPLAYED>
   )){this.form.submit()}else{return false}" align="top">
</CODE DISPLAYED>
how do i get around this? Thanks

You will need to swap them out so that < become &lt; and > becomes &gt; otherwise data entered into the code will mess up your pages.

For example, someone could enter </TABLE> into a field.
