Issue with double quote in list box

Hi,

I have customer data with double quotes. I have to display the value in a list box and based on the selection made make further filtering.

Now because of the prsence of double quote I am not able to get the full expression in the option tag.

For ex:

I can only retrieve Sugar from the below option tag using javascript because of the the double quote .

<option value="sugar"&salt">

I knew that I can use " to replace " to handle the scenario. But as my JSP is run on the server side the " is getting converted to double quote itself. How can I handle the scenario so I can read Sugar"&salt instead of just Sugar.

Please help me. I tried this for more than 4 hours now.
