I have a form which sends a link from a text field -
<input name="wishList" type="hidden" value="<a href='<%=url_link%>?ID=<%=sendID%>&myMonth=<%=sendMonth%>' class='link-onDarkGrey'><%=tripType%> in <%=country%> - <%=mStartDate%></a>">
I need to set a session variable to this value but I think the apostrophies are getting in the way.
session("choices") = request.Form("wishList")
what's the best way to format that lot?
later I want to concatenate several requests so I can display them.
session("choices") = session("choices")&"<br>"&request.Form("wishList")
will this work?
thanks

by the way your code tags are not working for me today for some reason

what do you mean by this? ... your question is really vague

The ASP sees the apostrophe and thinks it is a comment.
or sees a speech mark and thinks it is the end of the string.
but as you can see I need one or the other.
it would be nice if we could surround the whole lot with something else to tell ASP to ignor the contents

Thank you, that makes sense.
I am processing and displaying the form value using this code in the same page but nothing is working.
I have checked the source code of the outputted page but none of the response.write statements are doing anything.
Code:
<% dim wishList,trip,wishListUrl,wishRS, newChoice, choices
if request.Form("wishList") <> "" then
wishListUrl = request.Form("wishListUrl")
session("choices") = session("choices")&"<br>"&request.Form("wishList")
session("tripID") = session("tripID")&","&request.queryString("ID")
response.Write(request.Form("wishList"))
response.Write(session("choices"))
response.Write(session("tripID"))
session("wishListActive") = 1
choices=session("choices")
response.redirect("a.asp?ID=230&myMonth=10")' change this to wishListUrl later
end if
if session("wishListActive") = 1 then %>
<table width="98%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0">
<tr valign="top" bgcolor="#333E3F">
<td > <div align="center"><span class="Heading">Wish List</span><br>
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td ><span class="description"><%=choices%></span></td>
</tr>
</table>
<% end if %>

I have found my own mistake.
I was redirecting the page (a legacy from using a DB)
so the response.write were erased again before I saw them.
They all work fine now. and the quotation mark fix works a treat.
Thanks Mehere
