VB/ASP problem - HTML strings in ASP

Dmitry Khudorozhkov

Hi everyone, In the ASP page, I store the output (in the form of html strings) from the rich-text editor in a database; when time comes, I retrieve the required HTML string (I use VB as a server-side language) (htmlCode variable.) The I wish to pass this htmlCode to some JavaScript function:

BUT! Here is the problem. This html string can contain " (quote) and ' (apostrophe) symbols, that break the resulting HTML. How should I fix this? Thank you much in advance!

server.htmlencode

server.htmlencode is a .NET method; is there a way to make it in a ordinary (non-.NET) VB and ASP?

check again. server.HTMLEncode exists in ASP.

Oops! Thanks a lot. BTW, is there a server.HTMLDecode method?

No problem. No there isn't such a function.
