Sorry if I didn't understand your problem, but here goes.

Those look the same to me, so I assume you meant the other one with 
citation marks.

Anyway, you should use htmlspecialchars() to turn the special characters 
interfering html markup (' # & < >) to html entities. So:

<INPUT NAME="note" TYPE="hidden" VALUE="<?echo 
htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($note)); ?>">

Hmmm... you're testing $Youraddress for integer, was that the intention? 
If $Youraddress doesn't contain a number in the beginning of the string, 
it fails and $Youradddress turns to "Null".

I also assumed you're using PHP.

Tell me more if I got it completely wrong ;)
