MSHTML library problem

[ankyRichole]

Hello All,
I am rendering HTML file using MSHTML library reference visual basic 6.0. I am setting values for input box using value property. My problem is, if the value has starting char. " ` "(acute / greve accent , key right above the Tab key) and has only single word, IE is invalidating the whole element and displays it as a text.
for eg. [HTML]<INPUT type= text value='abcd id=text1>[/HTML] . The reason i found is that, if we wrap the value between quotation mark (either " or ') it displays perfectly in to the input box.
Do anyone is knowig how to handle this. I want to wrap the value between quotes.

Thanks,
Anky

I am not sure I completely understand the problem because I have not worked with that particular control in Vb 6.0

However have you tried a Replace for the ` ?

Replace(Expression, WhatToReplace, ReplaceWithWhat)

Jeffstl,
Thanks for the reply,
I tried replacing ` character with its value &#96, but now when i set that value thru MSHTML , & is being encoded in &amp; and rest of #96 remains as it is.
I have given MSHTML library reference in my VB application and using its functions to set the values to the fields.

Just out of curiosity, why are you posting this in the ASP forum? Shouldn't this go in the VB forum?

Hello All,
I am rendering HTML file using MSHTML....

according to HTML 4.0 standard, all values are supposed to be wrapped in quote marks, leaving out the quote marks is incorrect.
