I am trying to concatenate two strings with a & in between them and render it in HTML.

Say for example, I want to get: Richard & Mary. I tried "Richard" & Chr(38) & "Mary" in the VBScript. It prints Richard & Mary when I do the MsgBox, but while rendering in HTML it always prints RichardMary.

Is there anything I am missing? I searched online and other places but none of them helped me. Referred this- http://eyeontesting.com/questions/10262/how-to-concatenate-two-strings-with-the-newline-ch.html

Try with `"Richard" & "&" & "Mary"` – MC ND Jun 26 '17 at 16:33
& is a special character in html and xml documents. Need to use their escape sequences. I am personally not an html expert bu can you try the escape sequences in the below link and let me know if it is useful. https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_entities.asp – Mithilesh Indurkar Jun 26 '17 at 16:34

Can you open the html file in a text editor and see what text is stored in tag? Please paste it here – Mithilesh Indurkar Jun 26 '17 at 16:50

How are you writing out the HTML? And what exactly does the final HTML look like? – Chris Jun 26 '17 at 18:13
I cannot have control over that html, its a 3rd party application – WonderHeart Jun 26 '17 at 20:58
