Throwing variables around[RSLV]

[invitro]

Ok, heres the problem. Take alook at this line.

HTML + ASP\Javascript

<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="txtBody" VALUE="<%=objCategory('Body')%>">

Whats wrong with this line you may ask. Well, objCategory is a recordset that is pulling up a field. If there is a ' or " in that field it totally messes up the text input. Thats not the worst of it, if there is a \n character in there or something it starts writing outside of the text field all over my page. How can i fix this?

Looking for ' and " and replacing them with \' \" is one option. How do i search for new lines though.

I'm using ASP with JScript.

Ugh how frustrating.

Thanks ladies and gents

First, when the data was being inserted, you should have done a

Replace(stringname,"'","''")

For now, when retrieving and displaying values, use the Replace() function and look for ' and " and vbCrLf.

The thing is that I'm using JScript, so there is no such thing as vbCrLf, is there?

Second, i solved the problem by using a text area instead. Textareas seem to be unaffected by terminating charcters and so on since you are not inserting something in the VALUE but the field itself <>my text'</>

So, for the future, search for ' and " and replace them with \' & \" ... i still dont know what newline is in Jscript oither then \n but that didnt seem to work.

Anyhow, thanks for the reply i seem to got it working somehow.

Cheers!
