Hello,
Thanks for your answer. You are right that's what happening. On submission
input text sterling sign "£" escaped to the "ISO-8859-1" "£" and when try
to display it again in the same html:text box it escape it again. So how can I
avoid it what should I do. UTF8 work fine but it put some other constraint like
database encoding.
I attached the code: JSP, action class, form class, and Struts config.
I did not find any attribute "escape" in struts user guide can you give me some
example. I am using struts 1.2.9.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,

Can you post a code sample of what you are doing? html:text will only
escape its output once, so perhaps you are passing it a string that has
already been converted into the character entity form (£)?
You could try escape="false", but I'd suggest understanding what's going
on first so you're confident that you aren't opening up
cross-site-scripting or other Javascript injection vulnerabilities by
doing so.
