asked on

HTML <font style="color:red">

I am inserting the subject value into the database.  I replaced the " with ''' (3 quotes).  It saves it in the database as one '.  How can I save it so it produces double quotes for the webpage?

You have to save it with 4 quotes to get double quotes

Thanks

It broke the web page.  Hmm.  Works with the single quotes but it should be double.
What are you trying to insert into the database?  If you're trying to insert

HTML <font style="color:red">

you just need to surround with single quotes:

'HTML <font style="color:red">'

Can you provide the codes how you save the value into database?

and how you display it into HTML?

in this case, we may need to do some encoding either at database or HTML (server side scripting) end.
Show us the code so we can check for any typo or something that might be missing.
Below is the code.  It works as expected on the website when it pulls the data.  
UPDATE PART
SET [description] = '<font style=''color:red''><b>NOTE: This Option is No Longer Available for New Designs</b></font><br/>None',
html_description = '<font style=''color:red''><b>NOTE: This Option is No Longer Available for New Designs</b></font><br/>None'
WHERE id = 1

The command seems correct to me. You just need to double the single quote to have it stored as single quote.
It is storing it as a single quote.
