< input type=text name="PageTitle" id="PageTitle"

How do I "escape" any quotes, accidental carriage returns etc that are
contained within strPageTitle? Do I have to use a series of replace()
functions, or is there a cunning way that makes it OK?

Is there a script I can use to accept the single quote as part of a string of characters?
I've got a situation where I need to be able to replace "smart quotes" and similar characters that are created (presumably) by Microsoft Word. If you don't already know, smart quotes are those "curly quotes" that curl or angle in toward the text on each side. Here is an example, though I'm not sure how it will display in a browser: “
I thought I had just used a standard replace function in the past for these things, and that seemed to work when the text was coming from a form. However, now I am receiving them from a scraped web page, which I have retrieved using ServerXMLHTTP. In this case, a standard replace is not working.
I've noticed that when I use Server.HTMLEncode on the text, both left and right smart quotes, angled apostrophes, em dashes, etc. all get encoded as  which tells me something goofy is going on. I don't know if this is a character encoding issue or what. I could just HTMLEncode the string and do a replace on  but that also encodes other things that I don't want encoded, and there appears to be no such thing as Server.HTMLDecode in classic ASP.
I want to dynamically build a call to another asp page and include some
parameters as part of the call. The basic format of the call is something
like::
"<a href='mypage.asp?id=" & theid & "&location='" & thelocation &

where there is a single quote followed by a double quote following the
...location=... and vica-versa after the variable
My problem is that the variable thelocation can include a single quote or a
double quote. I tried Server.URLEncode and that didn't work. I got a string
that ended up causing a Page Not Found (it encoded the dot in the page name
and that didn't work)
How can I encode the data so that quotes will be accepted in this type of
call?

View Replies View RelatedWhat is the best way to handle inserting double and single quotes into a database via input from a form?
It's not a good option to remove them, since I need the text to contain punctuation sometimes. Likewise if I replace them with special characters (e.g.
Code:
& # 34 ; (without the spaces)
) it buggers up any HTML formatting I have in the textbox.
Is the best way to handle this to replace with HTML special characters then replace them back again in the database output?
