I want to have a login form, which has a onfocus="this.value=''" thingy so that the field empties on click, my problem is that the Echo starts with Echo (" then to add " into it ends the echo and messes it up, since the onfocus has both " and ' in them im stumped, can you help me,

cheers

Nevermind...
I have discovered the ESCAPE CHARACTER yey!

Yep, adding \ before the " would escape the added ".

Or use apostrophes:

echo 'onfocus="this.value=''';

That wouldnt work because it is 'onfocus="this.value=''"'

apost. to open echo, quote to open this.value apost. to open the value (which thus closes echo) apost. to end value, quote to end this.onfocus and an apost. to end the echo.

So only the escape characted will work
