what's the escape character for VALUE field

[Yinong Xi]

Hi,

I am currently having problem to include a double quote character ( " )
in the VALUE field, such as
<input TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="thisField" VALUE=" ">
the string for VALUE field includes a double quote character ( " ),
would you please let me know the escape character for this?

Please mail to: y...@lucent.com
Thanks,
Yinong

The quotation mark ("), whenever it appears in an attribute value
delimited by quotation marks, must be presented either as
&quot;
or, equivalently, as
&34;
(For simplicity I won't mention the third alternative, using
hexadecimal code, since no browsers support that yet.)

For other escape notations, see
