HTML code displayed in browser

Question

when viewing the jsp pages from remote network, we are having a problem. The page ends abruptly and the html tags like <td width="30" > are displayed on the browser. the content of the page also ends at the point of html code display. the server console shows no error. Not sure if it is some network or server issue. Please help.

Answer 1

posting & quot(no space between & and quot) its getting replaced by " so everywhere there is a space between & and <quot/lt/gt/amp) strip that while using.
HTML reserved characters are & quot; & amp; & lt; & gt; for ", &, <, > respectively.
while writing such characters, do not directly put < , > &, " use the chars shown above.
for help here is the utility method that will put the desired chars:
     public static String escapeHTML(String value)
        if (value == null) return "";
        StringBuffer strval = new StringBuffer();
        for (int i = 0; i < value.length(); i++)
              char ch = value.charAt(i);
              switch (ch)
                   case '"': strval.append("& quot;"); break;
                   case '&': strval.append("& amp;"); break;
                   case '<': strval.append("& lt;"); break;
                   case '>': strval.append("& gt;"); break;
                   default:
                        if (ch > 126)
                             strval.append("&#" + String.valueOf(ch) + ";");
                        else
                             strval.append(ch);
                        break;
         return strval.toString();
     }
