escape with s:textarea

[monika budhiraja]

Hi:
   I am using "s:textarea" to show bigger text. I have some html characters
in my data.
 so, If I use :
   <s:textarea name="field1"> </s:textarea>

 value in field1= "&lt;b&gt;Hello&lt;/b&gt;"

 Jsp comes back with  &amb;lt;b&amb;gt;Hello&amb;lt;/b&amb;gt;

This looks like it is doing double escaping. I know we have an optional
field with property, where you can choose to escape or not.

Do we have anything like this in textarea and texfield????


Thanks
Monika
