I think what may be happening is IE is ignoring the text/plain attribute and
converting your HTML in the document. Where as Netscape is displaying the correct
attibute of text/plain and displaying the raw text. This is one of those "helpful"
features(like "friendly" HTTP error pages) Microsoft incorporates into IE ignoring
the HTTP/HTML standards.
As a quick and dirty solution you could put a meta tag in your page that sets the
content type to text/html.

Are you calling
response.setContentType("text/html");
before you call getWriter()? If you don't, the server's default content type
will be assumed -- often "text/plain" -- which would cause the raw HTML code to
be displayed.
