problem with "

i have the following code
document.f.output.value+="<table border="1">"

the above code doesn`t work due to the "" around the 1 ("1"). How can i replace these in my code but when it is added to the textbox it shows up as "?

You cannot use the same type of quotation marks. Use single quotes to surround the tag. Otherwise you'll get a string termination error since it thinks the next quote is the ending one.

You can also use \" to put an actual " into the text field if you don't want to use single quote marks.

document.f.output.value+="<table border=\"1\">"

thank you both, i know have learnt from your posts how to do it properly
cheers
