Prefill a HTML Imput form

Question

Good morning,
I'm Barbara. I'm developing a portlet to send an email. It's a PDK java based portlet (Oracle standard). I have to prefill the HTML form.
In particular I would like:
-1) to insert a String value in the field VALUE of an input form. Of course I don't want just something like
VALUE = "[email protected]"but I'd like to pass the value of the string using the variable name "prova".
<%
String prova ="[email protected]";
%>
<TR>
<TD ALIGN=RIGHT width="124"><b>From</b></TD>
<TD ALIGN=LEFT width="298">
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT SIZE=60 MAXLENGTH=60 NAME="p_from" VALUE= >
</TD>
</TR>2) to insert a String value in a Text Area:
<%
String msg = "Test 1"
%>
<b>Message</b><br>
<TEXTAREA NAME="p_message" ROWS=10 COLS=66 SIZE=2000 WRAP=HARD>
HERE I WOULD LIKE TO INSERT THE STRING "msg"
</TEXTAREA>Could you give me some helps?
Thanks a lot
Regards
Barbara

Answer 1

<%
String prova ="[email protected]";
%>
<TR>
<TD ALIGN=RIGHT width="124"><b>From</b></TD>
<TD ALIGN=LEFT width="298">
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT SIZE=60 MAXLENGTH=60 NAME="p_from" VALUE=<%= prova %> >
</TD>
</TR>
String msg = "Test 1"
%>
<b>Message</b><br>
<TEXTAREA NAME="p_message" ROWS=10 COLS=66 SIZE=2000 WRAP=HARD>
<%= msg %>
</TEXTAREA>instead of <%=variable %> you can also use <% out.print(variable) %>...
