Has anybody have a way around this?

When I use the HTML painter to display a string, it cuts off at the first instance of space. So it displays the first word only.

Forgive me because I don't know HTML at all. I am a mainframe programmer that just learned how to use WebFocus. Here is what the actual HTML code for the field I am talking about...



What could be changed here to keep it from cutting off from the first blank character?

Here is how ACCT field gets populated in the focexec:

-SET ACCT=&ZACCT;

Thanks in advance for replying.


Thanks,

Ooops... Like I said... no HTML experience.
Let me try this again...

INPUT id=ACCT style="Z-INDEX: 13; LEFT: 380px; WIDTH: 410px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 440px; HEIGHT: 22px" tabIndex=13 maxLength=40 size=86 value=!IBI.AMP.ACCT; name=ACCT operation


Thanks,

Ronn,

Think of the problem logically and it will become obvious. If your !IBI.AMP.ACCT; string has a space within it then your HTML line would be 
size=86 value=some value name=ACCT operation

You will immediately see that the "value" and "operation" would not be considered parts of the attributes.

Use Quotes around the amper variable and do not use two words for the name attribute -
size=86 value='!IBI.AMP.ACCT;' name=ACCT_operation
