Hi I believe this is bad programming practice as you said...
Please show me a way to get around the problem. I use XSP to retrieve data from the database to make a combobox with the options from the data ... while (rs.next()){ str = str + "<option> " + rs.getString("name") + "</option>"; } return str; Because str is a string, therefor '<' is < So the XSL does not consider it as a markup... How can I make a '<' in a string not < so that xsl considers it as a markup Please help. Regards Paul White http://movies.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
