I had the same problem in a php msql app, instead of using
<input type="text" value="#varaible#"> I used
<textarea>#variable#</textarea>. When you use the <input type="text"> tag
the browser thinks the " in your data string is the end of the value
attribute. Using the textarea tag allows you to use " in your data without
any problem.

Subject: RE: Strange characters
okay, let me restate -- I have a string of characters*:
-->Assign the patient to one of several hundred "diagnosis-related groups,"
or DRG's, using appropriate computer software. <--
This saves and can be found in the database just fine. Now when I try to
output this text into a text box:
<input type="text" name="Task" value="#Description#" size="70"
maxlength="600">
The string is truncated to:
-->Assign the patient to one of several hundred <--
* - BTW, I used --> to be the beginning of the string and <-- to be the end.
