Can anyone tell me how to do this? requestcode 12-02-2003, 08:42 AM You can "escape" the symbol so it is treated as normal text like this: "I\'d like the string to contain a quote symbol". Notice the "\" in front of the quote? The same would work if you want to use a double quote in a string. spacesaver 12-02-2003, 08:48 AM requestcode: Thanks so much! ccoder 12-02-2003, 10:44 AM You should also be able to enclose the string with the quote symbol that you are not embedding. Anyway, the following should all work in IE and NN: "I'd like the string to contain a quote symbol" "I\'d like the string to contain a quote symbol" 'I\'d like the string to contain a quote symbol' 'As I said "The above should all work"' I'm not sure about the other browsers out there. webdeveloper.com
