From: Daniel Crichton on 17 Mar 2008 06:06 ' and " are HTML entities - these are converted by web browsers into ' and " respectively. If you just want to print the literal characters, that's easy enough: Response.Write """" will print a single " (there are 4 " in that line, the two outer ones are the string containers, the two inners generate the single " as doubling them up inside a string turns them into a literal instead). another example Response.Write "<a href=""http://myurl.com/apage.asp"">This is a link</a>" Notice how you just double up the quotation marks. For an apostrophe you don't need to do anything special: Response.Write "They're not here" So what problem are you having with quotes and apostrophes?
