It thinks the 2nd part of the name after the space is the next attribute, unless it is quoted, i.e., it is seeing value=Steven Walker> Kirk > -----Original Message----- > From: Steven Walker [mailto:steve@walkereffects.com] > Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 2:56 PM > To: PHP > Subject: [PHP] Filling Forms with $variables > > > Hi, > > I'm having trouble setting the value of form elements using variable > values.
