Problem displayin on text box 1

[EdRev]

I have a phone number record on my database (i.e. (310) 555-6666). When I tried to display it on a text box, the only string that gets displayed is (310). The record got displayed properly when I write (Response.write) it to a page. The field data type on my database is text.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Ed,

do you mean a textarea or an text type input tag?
if the problem is with using a text type input tag:
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;name&quot; value=&quot;<%=strValue%>&quot;>
then it is probably caused by you forgetting to use quotes round the value attribute in the HTML.
if your problem happens when you are using a textarea tag, then i don't know what is causing the problem.
i hope this helped

thank you guys for your reply,

this was the offending code:

<tr><td>Telephone:&nbsp;<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;area_tel&quot; size=15 value=<%=areaset(&quot;area_tel&quot%>>,

and when I enclosed the whole value in a double quote, it worked.

thanks again.
