Dan, Try using the filter="false" attribute of the bean:write tag. That will disable the encoding of characters that are sensitive to HTML.

But this is giving me problems with Javascript. THIS FAILS: <a href="javascript:alert('Dan's Test')">Dan's Test</a> BUT THIS WORKS: <a href="javascript:alert('Dan\'s Test')">Dan's Test</a> But I don't know how to get the second form. I can reverse the single quotes and double quotes in javascript - then it works for the test case above but fails for strings with double quotes. Has anyone solved this problem? I am using IE 6.0 as my browser as struts 1.1. Here is the full test cases: <% session.setAttribute("x","Dan's Test"); %> <% session.setAttribute("y","The \"other\" test"); %> <a href="javascript:alert('<bean:write name="x"/>')">x1</a><BR> <a href="javascript:alert('<bean:write name="y"/>')">y1</a><BR> <a href='javascript:alert("<bean:write name="x"/>")'>x2</a><BR> <a href='javascript:alert("<bean:write name="y"/>")'>y2</a><BR> Thanks, Dan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
