Part of my messaging system involves putting unknown text into the value=" " of an input type="hidden" element. I truncate the text if there is a double quote in there. So, my question is, how do escape a double quote when it is set in the value attribute? doing \" doesn't seem to work, should I convert it to " (I think that's it for double quote, doesn't matter I could look it up if i need to) ? <br />
