escaping quotes in text box

[Lisa]

<td><input type='text' name='mybox' value='Lisa's stuff' size='35'></td>

How does one escape the single quote if using single quotes in HTML?

Use double-quotes to surround the attribute values and you won't need to escape it. But if you have to, I think it's just the standard escape '\'...'Lisa\'s stuff'

ok, the \ excape doesn't work. That is the first thing I tried.
If I do change to double quotes..... How do I escape double quotes then?

<td><input type="text" name="mybox" value="Lisa "my" stuff" size="35"></td>

AH! I figured it out...

<td><input type="text" name="mybox" value="Lisa &quot;my&quot; stuff" size="35"></td>

I should have figured that out.

Smart thinking. :)

Can also use &#34; (same as &quot; HTML) for XML, and &apos; / &#39; for single-quotes.
