You're getting an error? What is it? Unterminated string constant,
perhaps? Always post the error.
What you do when you get an error, look at the line of the error, and think
about what would happen if you were the server. If you were the server
here, would you know which " are part of HTML and which are part of the
string that you want to response.write? No. That's what the problem is.
Your " right before the word "text" is the end of a string, as far as your
server's concerned. To "escape" quotes in VBScript, you double them.
response.write "<td align=right><input type=""text"" name=""quantity""
value=""" & rs("qty") & "></td>"

I'm trying to create a form that allows me to modify the contents of
list. When the user clicks on the modify button, it takes them to a
page which displays the quantity of items they purchase, and allows
them to update that quantity. So the quantity is shown in a textbox,
and the content of the text box is drawn from a rs("content").
But the page is crashing when I run it. I'm having trouble getting the
response.write textbox line to work. Here's the code:
response.write "<td align=right><input type="text" name="quantity"
value=" & rs("qty") & "></td>"
This is the line that is causing the page to crash. Can't figure out
why. Can someone give me some insight into this?
Thanks,
Bill
