Hello


Ny servlet is writing a dynamic string as below:


out.println(frm + str + frmEnd);


frm and frmEnd are HTML formatted tags such as PRE and /PRE in <>.
If str includes " <" is interpreted as an HTML relavent thing.


How can I solve this problem.


Thanks in advance.

You often have to convert < to < for it to display correctly. You should really read a basic HTML tutorial before doing web application development.


See What is the difference between URL encoding, URL r... for more information, and see http://www.purpletech.com/code/src/com/purpletech/util/Utils.java for a method that escapes entities for you.

Yes, the "<", ">" (and maybe others) are special characters that are interpreted by the browser as tag delimiters.

If you want to use them, You should use their representation:


< = <

> = >
