Displaying '(' in text

[JanS]

Hi,

I have a field returned from the database that in some cases, includes records that have a ( in the text. For example: "This is the text (in brackets)"

The full string will display when I read it into a variable and write that variable to the page but when I add the string into a text box, it stops displaying at the bracket. For example: "This is the text "

Any ideas how I can get the full text to display in the text box?? I am using the following code:

<INPUT id=txtProgramName disabled name=txtProgramName type=&quot;text&quot; style=&quot;HEIGHT: 22px; WIDTH: 250px&quot; value=<%=rsdata(&quot;program_name&quot%>>

Thanks
jan

Try adding some single quotes. See where I have added them?

WIDTH: 250px&quot; value='<%=rsdata(&quot;program_name&quot%>'>
