Href with imbedded single quote

I am trying to build a list of href statements that include parameters as in
the following code:

Response.Write( "<td align='center'> <a href='YTDDetail s1.asp?jname=" &
aryRslt(0,i) & "&jclass=" & ColList(j+1) & "'>" & aryRslt(j,i) & "</a>")

The value of the aryRslt(0,i) is names that can include a single quote (e.g.
"O'Brien") and that truncates the statement. How should I code this to
accomodate that?

I dont think single quotes in attribute names are legal, my advice is to
avoid them.

Wayne,

I would look what the UrlEncode method could do for me in your place.

Hello Here's the thing I have a database edited by some company workers editing descriptions of books in the sotre , unfortunately these workers do not have the habit of inserting a space character after word-ending dot, this is why i use the function: function getCorrect($txt) { $txt=str_replace(",",", ",$txt); $txt=str_replace(".",".

Hello; Admittedly, I'm very new to HTML, and this is my first post to any newsgroup, so please go easy. I was looking at the html code for an email I received and noted an href statement that looked very unusual. The statement was: <a href=3D"http://www.%76%69t%2D%63%6F.com"> <INPUT TYPE=3D"submit" VALUE=3D"Order Here" style=3D"font-family: Verdana; color: #3F79C0; ">

I'm have a form with a datagrid showing a checkbox for each row. I want the user to be able to click a checkbox and then click a button that sends an email similar to how the HREF MailTo: works.

It is very common to see an image as a link on many web pages. Authors create them by putting an <imgtag inside a <atag. This is very much extra use of another tag. But why browsers dont support href attribute for <imgtag? Whether at any time this came up at W3C?
