This is driving me crazy

 

example code

 

 

<%rr= "this is a test"%>

<input type= "hidden" name="test" value= <%=rr%>

 

when I send this to another page  I only gets  this  everything else is missing

 

if I use <% rr= "this+is+a+test"%>  I get the whole string  is there some char or function  I am missing

 

Thanks
