    Variable replace in text

    I am trying to make a description in my ASP.NET form to be dynamic. I have
    a maintenance form that a description may be entered. I would like to add
    various sql table fields into the description so I can display the result on
    another form with all the text and values embedded from the sql table.

    I tried to add this text into the sql table and display it on a textbox but
    I am having some problems.

    ex: "Includes healthcare coverage from United Healthcare with a
    <%=Plan3Contrib utions%>,<%=Pla n2Contributions %> test."

    I can enter the <%=Plan3Contrib utions%> variables in the form and get my
    values but when I place the string into the <input.value> then i get the
    following result:

    ex: Includes healthcare coverage from United Healthcare with a , test.

    What would be a good way to try to embed sql fields into a form dynamically
    so I can give the user the flexibility to put whatever sql fields into the
    text area of my maintenence screen?

    Thanks

    Todd

      I am not quite sure what you are actually trying to do, but some

      input.value = String.Format(" Includes healthcare coverage from United
      Healthcare with a {0}, {1} test.",Plan3Con tributions, Plan2Contributi ons);

          why not use String.Format.

              Thanks for the response. I was making it too hard on myself. I just use
              the replace function and all is well.

              Thanks,

              Todd
