Message: [QUOTE="Al Henderson, post: 4964721"] To correct myself, textareas do work, but that is presumably because the HTML for them does not use VALUE='xxx' put just put the text between the <TEXTAREA> </TEXTAREA> tags. My text boxes work, but only because my utility code replaces single quotes with their HTML equivalent ($#39). So, to solve my problem, I have done the same replace on the string I put in the value of my hidden variable. Can anyone enlighten me as to why explicitly setting the value of the DOM element via javascript does not require me to encode quotes in the same way? Thanks, Al. [/QUOTE]
