Form text area help - displaying UTF-8 characters

[Barry]

I am trying to make a text area display characters that are UTF-8 encoded. For example:-

& = &
" = "

but when I make the value of the field eg:-

" The dog & the cat chased around the bush "

When viewed on IE it reads:-
"The dog & the cat chased around the bush" instead of

" The dog & the cat chased around the bush "

Is there anyway to stop the form field translating the UTF-8 characters back to their original form?

Thanks

Three hours - three hours trying to sort this one out.....

and the answer is so simple! God I think my brain is still frazzled from Bristol last night!


Just simply write

& to render & and
"quot; to render " in your browser or textbox!

jees i think i'm goin back to bed!
