Error Setting text input

[TangoNetworks]

Here's the html for the input:

<input type="text" value="" size="25" maxlength="45" name="lastName">

After the exception I've listed all the string we're setting. They all
work with the exception of "Pe=Test" and "Pe'Test"

When I try to set these values I see this exception. Again, all the
other strings work fine... its just the two that's giving me fits. Any
suggestions? I've tried escaping the = and ' but "Pe\=Tes" and "Pe
\'Test" still fails.

thanks

solved my own problem....

this fails:

input.set(value)

this doesn't:

input.set("value", value)

input.set(value) is working as intended...if you don't include a '='
in the set it will instead set the tag's content. Here are some
examples:

//set value property of an input
input.set("value='My Last Name'");

//set the innerText property of a textarea
textarea.set("Some Description");

Please take a look at the documentation http://watij.com/webspec-api
under the section "HTML Tags and Javascript"...it's important to
understand how these methods work.

Best,

Brian

yep, still learning.

The first exception was cause by the single quote in the string. I
added some code in webSpec to add the escape char "\" to the string
and got past that:

public Tag property(String property, String value) {
value = value.replace("'", "\\\'");
return tag.set(property + "='" + value + "'");
}

thanks
