Problem displaying data containing quotes. 1

[ringd]

Hello!

I have (for example) the following line...

<input type="text" name="example" value="some text with a double"quote in the middle">

It doesn't display correctly. How can get the browser to correctly display the above? Can it be escaped, or something?

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers,
Dave.

Replace " with "

Mr Vongrunt,

Thanks for this. I modified my code and it works a treat!

Are there any 'cross-browser' issues I should be aware of here? I'm not too hot on what is / isn't 'the industry standard' character set / methodology for representing characters (unicode et al).

Cheers,
Dave.

Nope, this is by the book.

Check this:

First four entities (", &, <, >) are HTML delimiter characters and should be always encoded.
