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("O���� O�� ������");
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 ...
