If I understand the query, you need to know how to put quotation marks within a string, that is delimited by quotation marks?

Generally, you need to use an escape character in place of the quotation. I don'tknow about VB, but in PERL, you would do:

$selectText = "<a href=\"link\">link</a>";

You also know the quotes in the tag are optional? <a href=link> will work too.
