How have apostrophe (single quote) show up?

In my dev environment the single quote/apostrophe shows up fine.

When I publish the site all the single quotes are missing.

Any ideas why?

Is there a special character I have to use for the single quote?

You probably used a quotation mark (\u2018 or \u2019) instead of a plain
old apostrophe (\u0027), which was either dropped at compile or run time
due to incompatible encoding settings. Shouldn't happen as long as you use
ASP.NET's default settings.

The following script does NOT escape the Apostrophe. Meaning when you mouseover the image the Alt tag says this: DMACC, It and then it stops. <SCRIPT Language="JavaScript"> var pos = "DMACC, It\'s the Smart Thing to Do."; document.write("<img name=img5 id=img5 src='/homepage/dmaccstudent" + Math.floor(Math.random() *20) + ".jpg' WIDTH=145 HEIGHT=230 border=0 ALT='"+pos+"'>"); </SCRIPT>

A client needs a routine to alert him as to which memo records in an Access-2000 database have had double apostrophes inserted in the text. These are stopping a Java mouseover from executing. Normally, while cycling through the recordset, I would use the InStr function to test for a positive result indicating and embedded text. ie. If InStr(rstemp("Keywords"),"searched") > 0 Then would give a true for all <keywords> fields that...

To prevent future apostrophe bugs and errors, isn't it just simpler to forbid an apostrophe from being entered into a text field? For example, couldn't "Alice's Restaurant" be changed to "Alices Restaurant" etc. automatically and programmatically during data entry? This would eliminate my concatinated strings from producing errors when I base the string on a query. Think this is an example of the "Dreaded Apostrophe Bug." If I enter a...

Hi all, I'm trying to create a clickable link, but the pesky apostrophe is preventing the link from getting displayed properly. I'm displaying the contents of a folder (with contains the apostrophe), with the filename as a clickable link. The files show up properly, but the link location cuts off at the apostrophe. Here's a code snippet (fi is an instance of FileInfo):

For example, in English it is customary (and AIUI expected) to use the character that ’ represents should be used to delimit a quotation within direct speech (which itself should be delimited by “ and ”.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
