.addAttribute() does, setText() doesn't. No idea why. Here's my code fragment that's working correctly. It wasn't producing valid XML until I added the encodeXML() function.
option.addAttribute("value", value); if( value.equals(selected) ){ option.addAttribute("selected", "selected"); } if(one || (first != null && last == null) ) option.setText( encodeXML(value) ); else{ if(last != null) option.setText( encodeXML( DOMTools.trim(rs.getString(last)) ) ); else option.setText( encodeXML( DOMTools.trim(rs.getString(2)) ) ); } } return select; } public static String encodeXML(String input){ StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(input); DOMTools.replace(sb, "&", "&", false); DOMTools.replace(sb, "<", "<", false); DOMTools.replace(sb, ">", ">", false); return sb.toString(); } Edwin Dankert wrote: > Isn't hat exactly what it does at the moment? > > Regards, > Edwin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
