Hi everyone,

I'm having a huge problem with writing either a variable into a text box or a value from a database.

I have an email form with a From Name: <input text> field.

Ex: <input type="text" name="FromName" size="40" />

I'm trying to put my name into this input field either from a database or as a variable.

Ex: dim lcResearcherName

lcResearcherName="Donna Zukowsk"

When I try to point the value to lcResearcherName, only my first name comes up in the field. Not the last.

I tried:
<input type="text" name="FromName" size="40" value=<% Response.Write(lcResearcherName) %>/>

Still only my first name.

Then I tried:
<input type="text" name="FromName" size="40" value=<% =(lcResearcherName) %>/>

Still only my first name. I then tried breaking my name into two variables as in lcFirstName="Donna" and lcLastName="Zukowski")

I then did:
<input type="text" name="FromName" size="40" value=<% Response.Write(lcFirstName & " " & lcLastName) %>/>

Only my first name comes up. If I try to do with reading from a database the problem still happens.

I hear this is a problem too with PHP. Any suggestions?

you have no delimiters (") for the text box value, so as HTML also uses a space as a delimiter for form element attributes, the value is broken at the first space it finds.


BTW this is the ASP forum but the same thing would occur with any server side code.

Thanks. You can't tell I'm overworked eh? DZ
