Form value with apostrophe

Do not use standard common code

response.write("<input name=Nameform value=" & oRs.Fields("Name") & "'>")

If you try to display the default value in form from database field "Name" it will not wok properly with names containing apostrophe or quotes.
O'Briens apears in form as O

Instead use that code which is a result of help "icoombs" and "Shadow Wizard" moderators of this forum. All thanks to him. Not to me.

Code:
response.write("<input name=Nameform value='" & apostropheASCreplace(quotreplace(trim(oRs.Fields("Name")))) & "'>")

Function apostropheASCreplace(strValue)
If Not IsNull(strValue) Then
strValue = Replace(strValue, "'", "'")
End If
apostropheASCreplace = strValue
End Function


Function quotreplace(strValue)
If Not IsNull(strValue) Then
strValue = Replace(strValue, """, """)
End If
quotreplace = strValue
End Function


code works with

1) apostrophe: O'Briens >>>> O'Briens
2) pair of quotes: "something" >>> "something"
3) combination of apostrophe and quotes: "O'Briens" >>>> "O'Briens"
and even ''tes'ts'' ss's comes as ''tes'ts'' ss's

NOTE
it does not work with unpaired quote like
test "someting
will come as
test
but it should not be logically an unpaired quote in text or name as each opened quote must be closed.

Ideally we should use regexp to block input of unpaired quotes into database.
