htmlentities!
Thanks a lot for taking the time but it was just my nubie error.
What had me going all off in the wrong direction was textarea fields don't
need htmlentities to display quotes correctly like a text field does.
you know like this: value="some text" with important info"
Displays in textarea fine but in type=text of course you get
"some text
What a female dog.
