Displaying info in input box messing up

[Guest]

How can I make <cfinput type="text" name="dimension" maxlength="100" value="#product_dimensions#"> display my information properly if I have a " in the database field that get's pulled I only get the information prior to that ".

Escape that ["] so that the HTML engine does not think it is a control
character but rather recognizes it for the data it is supposed to be.
This is done by doubling it in HTML, IIRC. I find it hard to keep track
of all the different ways there are to escape data between the different
technologies used to build a web page. Thus I love Google when I need
to refresh my memory.

You can do it manually with some basic string processing or use the
htmlEditFormat(), htmlCodeFormat() or xmlFormat() functions designed for
this type of functionality.
