I am re-writing the question cause the stupid Outlook formatted my text and made it without any meaning to it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- We have some drop down boxes in our jsp's which take data straight from the DB. Some of those data contain the character &. (eg John & me). We use a javascript array to store these data for internal use in the page. The struts format those data. When we use these data in a drop down (html select) appears as (John & me) which obviously does not look good.
Is there a way to avoid this from happening ? Can we say to the struts NOT to format the data coming from the java objects ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- i mean NOT to turn & to &, cause when it does it the drop down says: "John & me", which looks ridiculous, doesnt it ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathy Zhou" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Struts Users Mailing List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 4:26 PM Subject: RE: How can i avoid the use of & in a drop down box ?
