RE: How to allow users enters html links in text input area and h
ow t o display it
We are displaying the text in text area as well. The reason we are doing
this is we want to preserve para and other formatting info which gets lost
in plain bean:write

Hmmm -- if a user enters the following into the text area:
My favorite site is <a href='http://struts.apache.org'>Struts</a>
Then you render this using <bean:write filter="false"/> it should work.
If the users are just entering the URLs (the http://... part) then you
will need to generate the "<a href" part yourself.

Well, text in a text area is not HTML markup -- it's just text -- to
render the links you will have to output the data using bean:write
filter="false" -- since you need to preserve line breaks take a look at
this thread

Good Luck!
