Returning a string containing a single Quote 1

[globularbob]

Hello

Here is the code:

Response.Write(&quot;<TD><INPUT type=text maxlength=50 name=Desc id=Desc value='&quot; & rsTasks.Fields(&quot;Notes&quot & &quot;'></TD>

When the rsTasks.Fields(&quot;Notes&quot returns a value with a single quote, such as &quot;Can't do this&quot; the textbox only shows &quot;Can&quot; because it's thinking that the apostrophe is the end of the string. I can submit it to the database just fine, but can't return it the way I want. If I lose the single quote in the response.write, then the first word of the sentence comes back, but nothing else. (example: &quot;Can't&quot

Any ideas??

THANKS!!!!!

Use double quotes for your values instead of single quotes. A double double quote in ASP is rendered as a single double quote in the string rather than the end or beginning of a new string:

Response.Write(&quot;<TD><INPUT type=text maxlength=50 name=Desc id=Desc value=&quot;&quot;&quot; & rsTasks.Fields(&quot;Notes&quot;) & &quot;&quot;&quot;></TD>
