Removing Quotation from Javascript forum

[brianwiz]

Heres the code for the particular part

if (form.description.value != "") {
form.Meta.value += "\""+
form.description.value + "\</a>\n";
}

<td> <input type="text" name="description" size="25"></td>

And i get this

"brian</a>

I try to remove the quotation and i get error messages all the time.

Any ideas?

The problem seems to be

form.description.value + "\</a>\n"; <--- the quotation after the plus. IF i remove it dosent work.

The "brian is caused by the "\"". Removing the quotation mark from "\</a>\n" would cause JavaScript to attempt to parse \</a>\n" as a pirce of code, which it is not.

Replace:

if (form.description.value != "") {
form.Meta.value += "\""+ 
form.description.value + "\</a>\n";
}

With:

if (form.description.value != "") {
form.Meta.value += form.description.value + "\</a>\n";
}

And it should work.

I still get the qoutes. The outcome was

"brian" </a>

I just need the quotes to disappear and the word to appear.

THANK YOU..

With the code you gave me I found a way around it by adding some tags to the situation like<b><h4>

Thanks
