EL: escaping HTML

[Timo Nentwig]

Hi!

I need to escape HTML - can this be done with EL alone? For a matter of
quotations marks I cannot use JSTL in a plain JSP:

<a href="javascript:f('<cut value="problem"/>')">

Why can't you use JSTL? I don't understand...

Hi,

in JSP 2.0 you can use:

<a href="javascript:f('${problem}')">

for JSP 1.2 you can stick to taglibs if you want to have the file
well-formed. Are you using struts? Then you can do:

<html:link href="javascript:f('${problem}');">link label</html:link>

Regards,

Tobias

<a href="javascript:f('${problem}')">

The problem of problem is that is it contains quotation marks....
