Text box in Form Cutting Text

[Jay]

I have a form on asp page that pulls info from a DB when the page loads.
It them puts the info into text boxes on the page that are editable by the
user. The only problem I have is say in the description text box it should
read "HP Laserjet 5Si" , it always cuts the text off where it just says "HP"
.. It does this on all the text boxes? I can't seem to figure out why it
is doing it. Here is the sample code:

With quotes around <%= vdesc%>

<td><input name="desc" type="text" id="desc" size="45" value="<%=
vdesc%>"></td>
And I tried it without.

Thanks for the help.

I don't see a problem with what you've shown. Try this and see what you
get.
<td><input name="desc" type="text" id="desc" size="45" value="<%= len(vdesc)
%>"></td>

If the length is the same as what you're getting, it is not being truncated
here. It is happening somewhere else in the ASP code.

Just a shot in the dark but perhaps try changing this:
<td><input name="desc" type="text" id="desc" size="45" value="<%=
vdesc%>"></td>

To be this instead:
<td><input name="desc" type="text" id="desc" size="45" maxlength="100"
value="<%=
vdesc%>"></td>
