General HTML/jsp question, any one
I have an html page generated dynamically by jsp, this page has input
field and value=A string which has " in it. I should generate the page
converting " to " but I don't and html assumes string ends early.
Do you know a method to overcome this or utilities which will convert
the string to xml compliant string, will be very well appreciated.
thanks Dinesh

I think you are generating you html by concatenation of strings or so.
If you generate it as you should (as if it was a XML DOM object, to be
serialized after) this would not happen.

To convert the string to xml compliant string, you could use a custom tag to
convert " to ", < to <, et c.
instead of having an input tag, you could have a custom tag such as
filtered-input. This custom tag would replace " with "
You could try to use single-quotes for attributes, but that will lead to a
problem if there is an ' in your attribute. Also, " is not allowed in attribute
values.
I hope this helps.
