Please consider my entry for the Mapserver Special Olympics...

I am trying out the new qItem and qString functions of the itemquery in
Mapserver 4.0. These new functions are awesome and a lot easier to use.
I am having a problem though when I send a string containing a
character. I know I have to put quotes around it but I would like to
have the quotes entered in without the user having to enter them in
manually. For instance, I have a parcel record of 001-004 and it needs
to go into the text box as '001-004' but I would like the user to enter
in just 001-004 and a string delimiter adds the ' ' on submittal. I know
there is a way to do it in Javascript but I am not too good with
Javascript.

Thank you in advance.=20
