Ouptutting a double quote to a form field value with ASP

G

Giles

If rs("MyString") is Hello "Jim" Lad

<input type=text value="<%=rs("MyString")%>">

prints as <input type=text value=" Hello "Jim" Lad">

How can I get double quotes to display in a text box or textarea? Using a
backslash or &Quot; (with Replace() e.g.) just prints out the backslash or
&Quot;

Thanks
Giles

Replace " with the corresponding HTML entity, which is &quot;

Cheers
