GetParameter() with more than one word

Question

hi all
i have these statement in my Servlet
String cust = rs.getString(1);
out.println("<INPUT TYPE=radio NAME=cdnames VALUE="+ cust + ">"+ cust + "<br>");
out.println("<input type=submit>");
out.println("</form>");
String lastName = request.getParameter("cdnames");
out.println("<P>"+lastName+"</P>");
so as u can tell there are some radio buttons on the page and i want to see which one user selected. It works fine. But when i have a radio button with more than one word..it just returns the first word. For example if my radio button is "Sudesh Sharma" then the value in my String lastName will just be Sudesh and not Sudesh Sharma. How can i fix this?

It is always a good idea to surround all html attribute values in quotes. And why you are at it, always use lower case for html tags:
  String cust = rs.getString(1);
  out.println("<input type=\"radio\" name=\"cdnames\" value=\""+ cust + "\"/>"+ cust + "<br/>");
  out.println("<input type=\"submit\">");
  out.println("</form>");
  String lastName = request.getParameter("cdnames");
  out.println("<p>"+lastName+"</p>");
