HTML - Escaping single quotes in form controls

Question

I have a textbox whose value contains a string with a single quote e.g. Andy's String

<input type='text' value='Andy's String' />

This obviously does not render correctly in a browser. Whats the best way round this?

Answer 1

<input type='text' value="Andy's String" />

Alternatively:

<input type='text' value='Andy&apos;s String' />

Answer 2

Best way is to use double quotes :)

<input type="text" value="Andy's String" />

Answer 3

Hi there.

Use double quotes '' instead of single.

Cheers. Jas.

Answer 4

Try

<input type='text' value='Andy&#39;s String' />
