Cheers.
Im not actually using jsp in this case, but rather modifying the contents of
an org.w3c.dom.Document tree and Im using a rather niave homebrew serialiser
to render the xhtml to the response stream. (as the one in xerces turned out
to be more than a bit inflexible when it came to extending it to handle some
PIs I needed to interpret at render time (which do happen to
requestdispatcher includes)).
I'll guess go and rip apart bean-write and get my serialiser (or my
renderers) to do what it does and see how it goes.

attribute contents
Hi Andrew,
I thought, man, you don't know that? Hahaha - and then I realised I
don't know either.
I just checked my app to make sure it's not happening to me too, and
it's not. I have stuff like snowflake in the database and it gets
encoded automatically into
value=a html-busting quot;characterquot;
via html:text. Presumably html:textarea is the same.
If you have bean:write you can add filter=true.

We have some screens that allow users to edit some stuff stored in the db,
and some of this stuff includes such characters as or \ or whatever, and
also some of them have xml tags as there contents.
When rendering such fields we are hitting some problems.
ie: if the value is something like:
my cats name is snowflake
we end up with:
input name=fieldname value=my cats name is snowflake/
...which of course is not very good.
Another one is textareas containing /textarea!
Whats the technique for handling this nicely?
Obviously I need to escape these somehow. What do I need to consider?
