Don't make us guess your problem!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Apache 1.3.12 Jserv 1.1 Sun Solaris 2.6 I use servlets, xml and xsl to present GUI to users. If users enter html tags like <b>...</b> or <br> inside a text area in a form I would like to display the html effect when I display the content of the text area. For example, I have a product page where user can enter product description in a text area. If the user enters html tags then when I display the product description I want to see the effect of the html tags. When I store the description in the database it is stored properly but when I transform the xml using my xsl the "<" and ">" symbols are translated to < and > and hence they are displayed as it is. The xml I construct has description as CDATA. Is there any work around for this problem?
