Rick:
The description of the problem sounds a little odd. (Browsers don't
interpret JSPs; browsers interpret html type code. JSPs are interpreted at
the server when they are compiled. After that, JSPs run much as a Servlet
runs -- JSPs are Servlets.)
I'll assume you want to write in your html response something like this:
<p> Here is how you will write a jsp someTag "<% someTag
%>&qout;</p>
(The tag portion will display as "<% someTag %>").
Within your html response, you may include the characters you listed. Be
sure to replace "<" with < and ">" with >. I don't think "*" and "%"
will cause browser problems.
If you are having problems beyond this, I'd suspect a problem with your JSP
code. Tell us more. I'm sure someone in the group will see something that
may help you out.
Good luck
Phil
