Hi larryb,

In the case of the example you gave:

value='

<?php
=strMgrLocalMkt
?>

' -- the double quotes will remain within the single quotes

If you do not know whether the quotes are single or double you will need to call a function that inserts an escape character before each quote, something like:

function addEscape(fldValue)
{
dquote = '"';
squote = "'";
retVal = "";
for (i=0; i < fldValue.length; i++)
{
if ((fldValue.substr(i,i+1) == dquote)||(fldValue.substr(i,i+1) == squote))
retVal += "\" + fldValue.substr(i,i+1);
else
retVal += fldValue.substr(i,i+1);
}
return (retVal);
}

You are right about the cause of the problem. But Its got nothing to do with the hidden type of input field. Any input field with behave the same way. The string value of the input field is everything between the quotes which in your case ends just before the word 'moving'.

The solution is to use "e; or " instead of actual quote marks in your string. These guys are presented on the browser as quote marks. But they aren't interpreted in your code as quote marks.

Hope this helps
