Question
what is the use of Server.HTMLEncode( Request("username") ) in asp?

Answer
There are many special characters that must be encoded to be viewed in HTML. Examples of these are: & (&), " ("), < (<), and > (>) It is easy to hardcode these into your ASP, but if these characters exist in your database, you need to dynamically encode them.
