Thanks for the help. What is frustrating though is that any tag that
requires quotes gets the escaped version if it's inside a table tag. This
is very odd behavior and I just wanted an explaination as to what
potentially could be causing this. Is it a setting? Is it a, horror of
horrors, bug? What? Also, in my naivete, what does the ecs.properties
file do? I noticed some other .properties files in my lib directory.
Should this also have been placed in same directory as ecs.jar or is it
only used in the compilation process> And finally, if something is
replacing the quote character where exactly would this be happening so I
can hunt it down in the code.
I think I will move the offending code base to my Unix Apache server today
to see if it has something to do with NT which is where it's running now.
I will also try the CVS version when I have time. For right now I can't
use tables because even the column number tag <table cols="8"> gets
munged.
Cool idea to use CSS to do the same thing though.

Another way to get alternating colours for your table row is to give your
rows class=row1, class=row2 and then use CSS and set the colors in there
eg
<HEAD>
<LINK rel=stylesheet type=text/css href="/styles/ams1.css">
</HEAD>
with this in a loop
out.println("<TR class=tr" + (row==true?1:2) + fn_call + ">");
row=!row;
entries in a .css file
tr.tr1{background-color:grey; color:blue}
tr.tr2{background-color:lightgrey; color:darkblue} or similar
