The answer is simple, your content contains a " and the HTML attribute
uses " to contain the value. So effectively you have this:

value="12" racket"

So the value trims after 12 and then has racket" after it.

There are two ways round this:

1) Hacky - use value='$row[4]' which will allow you to use " within the
data

2) Better - use htmlentities on the data before displaying it for editing
using ENT_QUOTES to convert quotes to HTML entities. Browsers will
display the proper character and allow editing as if it's a single
character.

Cheers,


Andy
