Problem with <input> tag

[gypmaster]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this post ... but:

I've got an AJAX thing going on so that when the user clicks on an 'event', javascript calls a php script which generates html and presents a new <div> for the user to edit the 'event' ...

problem is, if the 'event' text was My birthday then the html returned from the php code would look like this:
<input id=b_Thing_Desc name=b_Thing_Title size=30 value= My Birthday> </td>

so far, so good .... but, when displaying that html the input tag would only contain the My word and not the Birthday word too...

It's the same in FF and IE6.

any ideas??

I would suggest that was a problem with your server side code than anything else, i should take a look at that to make sure it is returning what you want properly.

Next thing to look at would be the javascript that makes the AJAX call and make sure it is passing the full value to the server side script.

I've got an 'alert' in my javascript that shows me what's coming back from the server ... it's exactly as it should be , i.e.

<input id=b_Thing_Desc name=b_Thing_Title size=30 value= My Birthday></td>

it seems that the browsers (maybe, somehow??) decides only to show the first word i.e. 'My' and not 'My birthday' ...

Try putting quotes around the value. i.e. "My Birthday".

quotes seemed to do it!

thanks very much for your help!!
