Mick,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I used your suggestion and developed a for loop but the apostrophes
are not getting replace when the form is submitted. Can you please
take a look at the for loop code and see if you can find anything
wrong. Thank you!!
-------------
<script Language = "JavaScript" Type="text/javascript">
function stringReplace(form)
{
var replaceStr = form.value
var patter = /\'/g;
form.value = replaceStr.replace(pattern, "'");
var elem = form.elements[i];
for (i = 0; i < form.length; i++)
}
if(form.type == "text")
{
stringReplace(elem);
}
}
}
</script>
....html...<form method="POST" action="ER_AddPost.asp" name="form1"
onsubmit="stringReplace(this.form)">
