To any one who can help me:

In my form input text field, inside a table, if I specify

<td><input type="text" name="T1_name" size=40 value = "My Name"</td>, it
displays this initial value correctly with the space.

But if  I specify:
<%Name_var="My Name"%>
<td><input type="text" name="T1_name" size=40 value=<% Name_var%>></td>
it truncates everything after the space.

How can I preserve the space and use the value of the variable in the
initial value of the text input form.

Thank You in advance for your response.

Two solutions:

1) <td><input type="text" name="T1_name" size=40
    value='<% Name_var%>'></td>

2) <td><input type="text" name="T1_name" size=40
    value=<%Server.HTMLEncode(Name_var)%>></td>

Solution 2) is actually the more robust solution since it encodes all characters that are
significant in HTML syntax.
