If I have text containing quotes, single or double in my database, and I try to set the text as a value for my html text field. The quote in the text will prematurely close the value="" or value='' html and cut of the remainder of the text. How can I prevent this. I curently have this: <input name="title" type="text" id="title" size="100" maxlength="255" <? echo( "value=\"" . stripslashes($row[0]) . "\">"); ?> If I try to set the value to - bla bla "something" I'll get bla bla If I use value='' then the same happens for bla bla 'something' __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
