How will you remove special characters from a text? What if my user just copies the text from a web page and then pastes it on a text area? Will special characters/invisible html tags get copied also? If so, how do you remove these special characters/invisible html tags?
I have created an online form using ASP VBscript, however the form breaks when someone inputs quotation marks in the field. I have attempted to write a function that removes the quotation marks without any success.
Function CleanString(passedvalue) Dim tmpvar If passedvalue > "" then tmpVar = Trim(Replace(passedvalue, "'", "")) Return tmpvar Else Return "" End if End Function
I am having problems with special characters with database calls (if I'm referring to this in the right way). the problem is with apostrophes of all things. If an end user puts an apostrophe in something ASP will interprete it as a delimiter. This is aggravating because I'm trying to make this as simple for the end user as possible and if they can't place something in a simple text field like "Joe's Bar" (which comes out as "Joe") then I have a problem because I don't have a solution for this. It appears that this " ´ " is not quite the same as " ' " and I don't see a special character for apostrophes either.
I was curious as to what kind needs to be done in order for special characters to be inputted into the database. I think using these characters in an input box don't work well when transferring with SQL. So when people are writing use something like ' an error comes up.

Through javascript i am forming a dynamic sql based on some selection criteria entered by the user. If i am trying to have an alias with '&', then on executing this through an ADODB object , the statement fails and i get an error as "from keyword not found"
For ex: If i have a SQL as select emp_name as "Emp&Mgr" from emp; on executing this i get the above mentioned error.
But SQL's with other special characters do work. For ex: select emp_name as "Emp,Mgr" from emp; select emp_name as "Emp/Mgr" from emp; select emp_name as "Emp*Mgr" from emp;
We have a website developed, however after testing I have identified all the pages which have forms allow the input of special characters in the fields. This can allow a user to put in html code and run it. Is there a way to stop this? Code:

I have a form that is being sent using CDONTS. The problem is the form I'm sending has a lot of special characters (it's in Spanish) and while I know how to get the chars to display correctly on the page, they're not showing up correctly in the email.
They either show up like this: Country : Canad�;
or if I encode them, like this: Country : Canadá
How can I get the email to display the correct character Country : Canadá
I'm fairly new to ASP (I'm a PHP programmer) and have no clue how to do it.
I've noticed that the email is not set to encode in any special way like the equivalent for PHP......
I need to add and subtract transactions for each of our accounts within our Access DB for account reconciliation.

I'm trying to validate several fields using regular expressions and not sure how to allow spaces and special characters within the expression.
One field is for an address:
^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$
how can I allow spaces and special characters like a comma, number sign and periods. So, if some entered an address with a suite number or p.o. box where commas, periods and number signs can be used it would validate correctly. Right now, the expression is only checking for alfanumeric characters.
I'm stumped by one single thing when using Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0. I'm sending an XML-formatted text string to a foreign server and getting a response back (using Windows 2000 Server and IIS).
