Default Showing single and double quote in text field.

Hello All,

I have a table in a database that has some fields with single and double quotes in it. I need to show some of these fields in a text field. However when I try to do this it thinks that the value ends when it sees the quotes. Is there a way to get around this?

Thanks!

Grant Griffith

You will need to use the REPLACE command to either replace them with an escaped version of themselves or another character so that they do not cause this issue, for example :

response.write("<input type='text' name'myTxtBox1' value='" & Replace(thevalue,Chr(34),Chr(39)) & "'>")

Replaces the double quote with a space

Greg,

That does not show the single or double quote in the text fields though and I have to show them. Anyone else have an idea?

Hi there,

You can use Server.HTMLEncode to escape the " characters to &quot; like this:

Response.Write("<input type=""text"" value=""" & Server.HTMLEncode("String""With''Singe and Double Quotes""") & """>")

This will write out a text box with single and double quotes in it.

Cheers,

Imar

Thanks Imar, that is exactly what I was looking for. I forgot all about the Server.HTMLEncode statement.
