Hi Tia,In your html file, instead of putting a < or > signtype in #&60; and #&62; That will get it to display as text and not get interpreted by the browser as a tag.Rick

Try...&lt INPUT TYPE="text" SIZE="15" MAXLENGTH="128" NAME=qt &gt

i.e., in general, for characters that would otherwise be interpreted by the browser, use their corresponding entity references.For a full list of such character entity references see http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/entities.html

Here's what I usually use:<%!

private String entities(String s) {

StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

char ch;

for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++) {

ch = s.charAt(i);

if (ch == '>') {

sb.append(">");

} else if (ch == '<') {

sb.append("<");

} else sb.append(ch);

}

return sb.toString();

}

And then to use:<%

...

displayLine = entities(htmlLine);

You can change the content type of your page: response.setContentType (<the content type you want, like "text/plain">).

Hi,In your HTML tag replace < with < and > with > and try.

Sorry,Replace < with & l t ; and > with & g t ; Remove the space between those characters
