could be this is an HTML problem, but I'll take the help anywhere I can find it...

ASP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <%
  2. @ Page Language = "VB" aspcompat=true Explicit="True" 
  3. Dim src As String = " bet "
  4. %>
  5.  
  6. <html>
  7. <head ></head>
  8. <body >
  9.  
  10. <form name=loc action=testsac.aspx method=get>
  11. <table class=s0 width=100% cellpadding=1 cellspacing=1 align=center border=1>
  12.   <tr class=s0 align=center>
  13.     <td>
  14.     Search For:
  15.     <input class=s0 size=50 name=src  value=<%=src%>>
  16.     <input class=s0 type=submit value=Search />
  17.     <td></td>
  18.   </tr>
  19. </table>
  20. </form>
  21.  
  22. </body>
  23. </html>

on the screen, "bet" is the search string, but I want " bet "
any ideas?

Try this:

ASP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. Dim src As String =  Chr(32) & "bet" & Chr(32)

Not sure if it will solve your problem, but it appears as though it is being trimmed (trim())...

No, really it's a variable, which may or may not contain the leading and trailing spaces. When you assign as the value of a textbox, it is automatically trimmed. I'm looking for some kind of way to override that and leave the blanks in there.

Okay I see your issue now...

ASP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <html>
  2. <head ></head>
  3. <body >
  4.  
  5. <form name=loc action=testsac.aspx method=get>
  6. <table class=s0 width=100% cellpadding=1 cellspacing=1 align=center border=1>
  7.   <tr class=s0 align=center>
  8.     <td>
  9.     Search For:
  10.     <input class=s0 size=50 name=src  value="&nbsp;<%=src %>&nbsp;">
  11.     <input class=s0 type=submit value=Search />
  12.     <td></td>
  13.   </tr>
  14. </table>
  15. </form>
  16.  
  17. </body>
  18. </html>

It worked for me in Firefox 3.5

I solved this problem myself.
The answer is:
ASP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.     <input size=50 name=src  value="<%=src%>">
instead of
ASP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.     <input size=50 name=src  value=<%=src%>>
