Hi everyone,
I have a slight problem which some one of would have solved before.
I am accepting some text in a html form. The form posts to a servlet
that takes the values using request.getParameter("textfieldname").
Now, when the user types characters like ä (umlauts), the character
gets changed to symbols like "%" (division sign). This causes some problems
when I compare it in a select statement like
select * from offer where state = 'value entered by user';
Is it possible to take the values as are entered by the user, store it in
the same form without using the ¨ symbols.
Thanks
Nagaraj.
