Hi,
I am getting the error "unterminated string constant".
I have an input box. When I type "affected party" and press submit. The submit button calls an insert function and it inserts into an Oracle database. This all works fine.
When I copy and paste "affected party" from a word document into the input box and press, submit I get the "unterminated string constant" error. I think the problem is the word document has a carriage return after the "affected" and then "party" follows the carriage return. I think the carriage return is cause the error. I am not sure how to go about fixing this problem.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Amisima

Do you have any single quotes. That could be causing it. It also could be concotination. Write that area and check it out....
