A few notes: o Single or double quotes will work fine; either are valid (so long as they match). o <input type="text" value=this is a joke> will give a value of 'this' and is bad style--*always* quote your attributes :), o <input type="text" value="this is a joke"> will give a value of "this is a joke". You needed to escape the backslashes so that the double quotes inside a double-quoted string wouldn't tell PHP to end that string.
