Hi! A simple adn double matter in forms

Hi to all! The matter: <input type="text" value="something"> Ok. I put anything in this field, like: This is a "quoted" text with 'simply quotes' also. The text will be translated with addslaches and stripslashes and so to MySQL database. All seems to work, but... When I tretrieve the data from MySQL and I want to return this value in a <input type="text"> field, thins go wrong. Text is truncated from the 1st " to end, or other strange behaviors.... Is there any way to acces form.field.value objects or so? I readed that form object is read only. I want to put the MySQL row data to form object "directly". When the HTML is generated, I came with this: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" VALUE="This is a "quoted" text with 'simply quotes' also."> This doesn't work, logically.... Trying to do a form.field.value = MySQL_row_name don't work also.... Any ideas will be appreciated! TIA Joan
