[Webdev] escaping quotes in html

[John P. Looney]

 Now I'm annoyed. I've spent the morning trying to work out someway of 
keeping what's typed into a text input box as it was typed.

 As in, if someone types;

 "asdasd as" ASdasd " asdasd "'  asd'

 into an input box, if I put that straight out as html like;

 <input type="text" name="box" value=""asdasd as" ASdasd " asdasd "' asd'">

 It'll break. If I use backslashes, it'll break - html seems to ignore
them. Is there any way around it ?
