Here is a little jsp I just tested with:
========================================
<%
String name = "Barb Johnson";
String book = "How I beat my browser";
%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Sample Application JSP Page</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=white>
<form>
<table border="0" border="100%">
<tr>
<th align="right">Name:</th>
<td align="left">
<!-- <input name="flname" size="30" value=<%= name %>> -->
<input name="flname" size="30" value="<%= name %>">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th align="right">Book:</th>
<td align="left">
<!-- <input name="book" size="30" value=<%= book %>> -->
<input name="book" size="30" value="<%= book %>">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
=============================================================
Notice the lines that are uncommented vs. the lines right below them. The
commented out lines are what you have now. The ones right below them will put
the whole string in the text box.
