    Default Ouptutting a double quote to a form field value with ASP

    If rs("MyString") is Hello "Jim" Lad

    <input type=text value="<%=rs("MyString")%>">

    prints as <input type=text value=" Hello "Jim" Lad">

    How can I get double quotes to display in a text box or textarea? Using a
    backslash or &Quot; (with Replace() e.g.) just prints out the backslash or
    &Quot;

    Thanks

    Replace " with the corresponding HTML entity, which is &quot;
