Hi,
I tried this but I'm getting the following error
cannot resolve symbol
probably occurred due to an error in /GloboWorksDev/En/Purchase
class="textBox100" value="<%= itemRec[2].replaceAll("\""
I think there is no replaceAll(string,string) in jsp for a string and if I'm trying with replace() it is giving error as
replace(char,char) in java.lang.String cannot be applied to (java.lang.String,java.lan
probably occurred due to an error in /GloboWorksDev/En/Purchase
class="textBox100" value="<%= itemRec[2].replace("\"", """) %>" >
can u pls suggest the solution

Are you using JDK1.4? If not, then we need a different solution ;-)
If you are confident that no apostrophe's will appear in the text, you could use:
value='<%= itemRec[2] %>'

I'm not using JDK1.4 ,I'm using JDK1.3.1 and there is quite a possibility that I may get apostrophe's also in the text

Hi,
this is working fine for all the charactrers except for apostrophe's .whenever an apostrophe is encountered it is displayed as '
Ex: de'm'o is displayed as de'm'o
how shld this be handled?

That is strange!! If every other character is being converted properly, then this is also suppose to work.......
I will do some testing on my own box and will let you know.......

The same &apos happened to me.
Instead of using ', try using '
Instead of using ', try using '
1. ' is not recognised in IE
2. ' IS recognised but in UTF-8 pages converted straight back to single quote, messing up my javascript.
Any ideas?
