backspace interactive vs. script

How come when I use a backspace in the interactive bash shell it works
OK and deletes the last character and repositions the curdor yet when I
run a bash script that is prompting for input then when I use a
backspace while I am entering the value it adds a control character
instead of deleting the last character?
