Quote Marks(!) - Don't you just love them

Hi Guys

I've been here before but cannot get the syntax right.

On my ASP page I assign

txtA1Grade="""Do Not Know"""

Response.Write ("<input name=J type=radio title=" & txtA1Grade &"/>")

All works OK - When you hover over radio button you get displayed "DO Not Know"

If I assign txtA1Grade a value from a variable

txtA1Grade=strResponse

where variable strResponse is "Do Not Know"


When you hover over the radio button I get "DO" displayed rather than "DO Not Know"
I've played with CStr but to no avail.

Any pointers....

Many thanks in advance

have you tried to use cstr(trResponse),

probably it is interpreting Do as one of the reserved keywords.

Life is what happens when you are making other plans.

Try this

Response.Write ("<input name=J type=radio title=""" & txtA1Grade &"""/>")

xwb

Your solution worked a treat.

Far to obvious for me


Many Thanks Guys

it always gets me when a simple thing like the loss of standards even as far as simply using quotes comes in. I really wish IE wasn't so compatable with bad coding practices that way.

Point of my rant???

xwb is write. QatQat is also write.

BUT
this

Response.Write ("<input name=J type=radio title=""" & txtA1Grade &"""/>")

In standards eyes and maintainability wise is wrong also.
ALWAYS use quotes for your attribs in HTML. No matter how the HTML is outputted to the screen

e.g.

Response.Write ("<input name='J' type='radio' title='" & txtA1Grade &"'/>")
