VBScript - General - Question - Quotation
Hi there

On the company in house website application I've a text field where users can add comments.
The problem is some users when about sizes put a number following quotation (ex: 75") and when the comments are displayed using ie it changes all the site layout.
I've tried to uses a replace (ex: replace(variable, """, "''") ) but it didn't work. Is there any solution for this please?

Thanks

You might try

response.write (Server.HtmlEncode(variable))

Just a guess.

Instead of:
Code:
variable = replace(variable, """, "''")

Try this:
Code:
variable = replace(variable, CHR(34), "''")

Keep in mind that you may have trouble if you are going to store your data in a database. Many databases have trouble with single quotes (').

Send a message via Yahoo to keep_it_simple
since you are displaying then try using mike's suggestion...i believe it will 'display' with the html's 'ampersand quot;' versus "...

i do not think you will need to 'replace' anything..let us know
