"Dataprep" type function allows for customization, otherwise nothing wrong with your suggested solution...

Re: printing character ' and &quot; in asp using vbscript

The solutions provided work for others. The problem you have is not an ASP problem per se.

I suspect you will need to look elsewhere in your database/server/browser to find the problem.

I suggest you start debugging by allowing the page to be viewed by someone else with another browser so you can start eliminating
variables.

Narrow down the problem to where it can be isolated and then you may be able to resolve this matter.

This as good a group as any to get help with this issue.

My current guess is that the data has been entered by a Form post via ASP.
In correct codepage settings have corrupted the data entered into the DB.

you have guessed it very correctly that i am entering html code into the
database (like table tags <td <trin particular) with the
idea that this takes effect when it is pulled back to a web page, and
hence i dont want to server.htmlenco de it.
>
can you suggest a server side validation script which does as indicated
below by you. else can you suggest an alternate method of achieving
the above (ensuring the table tags get translated into tables on the
client side).

'input is the posted content from the Rich Text Editor

If InStr(input, "<string>") 0 Then
'reject it
Else
'process it
End If
