I will tell you how I handle the umlauts (special characters in German).

While printing print them as

String gText = "äbcdö" // ä is the code for printing the a
umlaut

The browser will print the ä as the a umlaut.

Similarly after the user has keyed in the text, using a JavaScript function
you can convert the text to the html code before the form is submitted.

Note: This will increase the size of the text. For example, if the user
has keyed in 2 umlauts, the size will increase by 8.

Nagaraj.

Subject: How do i display a greek character in JSP? - Urgent ...


hi all,

I have to display a greek character in the JSP page.
i am constructing the string object as follows,

    <% byte[] str= new byte("Oôïêå Oèâ Çáìäïí");
    String greek = new String(str,"ISO-8859-7");
    out.println(greek); %>

but when the Jrun Interprets the code it gives me
javax.servlet.ServletException: Invalid UTF-8 code. (bytes: 0xfffffff4
0xffffffef) Error.

How do i display the languages which is other than english in the JSP
pages?

FYI, i don't want to set the html charset as greek code since only few
information in the page is greek and rest of it is english.

I badly need to rectify this problem and any early reply will help me a
lot....

thanks for your time ...
