Subject: Re: request.getParameter("Name") with special chars
Thanks to an email from Bob Schmertz, I have resolved the issue.
Special chars actually are passed to the server from browser and fetched by
request.getParameter(). When I write back to the browser, html omited them.
After I used <pre> tag, I see them.

request.getParameter("Name") is the way to fetch the form input. When the
input is a <textarea />, the user may type multple lines of input. It seems
like request.getParameter() will NOT fetch the new line char. It also will
NOT fetch special chars, like tab, space (in there is more than one), and
new line chars. So, a multi-paragraph text will become a clustered string
after go through request.getParameter(). Is there way to get around of this
to preverve the original format from a <textarea> ? Thanks for any comments.
