There should be a javascript out there somehwere that can search that form field for double quotes and throw an error if there are any telling the person to remove them before hitting send. Or upon inserting the quote Strip the double quotes or replace them w/ single quotes using the REplace function.
Dear All, I'm facing a problem and can't figure out the solution and would love anyones help. the situation is this: i have a form for users to fill, i take their entry and enter it in the database, then i take it and display it in a form so they can edit it. the problem is this: if uses enter double quotes my html gets mixed up and considers the users quote to be the end of the output value for the input field. Example: <form> <input type="text" value="myvalue"> </form> myvalue is a variable which is read from the DB and contains a double quote now if myvalue = this is a double quote " like this. the output html will look like this: <input type="text" value="this is a double quote " like this."> and the output like this: this is a double quote and that's it..cause it took the double quote as the end of the value field. now what do i do? how can i prevent that from happing?
