How did that thing work again??

[Pandyon]

Saw this somewhere else, but can't seem to search properly for it. Really simple..I think. So little help, please.

When I set the default value in an input box on a form from a variable, I'm not getting the full text in the variable. In input box is &quot;value=<%=vbAudCompany%>&quot;, and in this case, let's say vbAudCompany = &quot;Matchstick Makers&quot;

All I get is &quot;Matchstick&quot; No, &quot;Makers&quot;...
Anybody know the fix for this? Why it's stopping at the first &quot;space&quot;???

Thanks,

pandyon

Off the top of my head, I think you want Value=&quot;&quot;<%=vbAudCompany%>&quot;&quot; beacuse of the embedded space. It has been a year or so since I did any ASP. Anyway, doubled-up double quotes are rhe answer. If you were doing RESPONSE.WRITE instead of embedded HTML with <%=vbAudCompany%> it would be

RESPONSE.WRITE "value=""" & vbAudCompany & """"

value=&quot;<%=vbAudCompany%>&quot;

if you use response.write, you should double them up, but if you aren't, you don't have to -- you just had them in the wrong spot... they come after value, not before.

link9 has it right:
value=&quot;<%=vbAudCompany%>&quot;

I thougt the &quot;s in the original were just being used to &quot;offset&quot; the HTML text from the rest of the question.
