You forget to do
res.setContentType("text/html");
Also you must understand that servlet is running on server side. Not on
client side. So it does not matter what type of browser you have. Browser
does not see you <SERVLET> tag.
Such behavior is just because when content type is not set IE by default
thinks it's HTML. Netscape thinks it's plain text and shows it as plain
text.
