hi,
you can put the html equivalent for the characters like

something like
                StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer(arg.length());
                char ch;

                for(int i=0; i<arg.length(); i++){
                        ch = arg.charAt(i);
                        if(ch == '\'')
                                result.append("&#39;");
                        else
                        if( ch == '"')
                                result.append("&#34;");
                        else
                        if( ch == '<')
                                result.append("&lt;");
                        else
                        if( ch == '>')
                                result.append("&gt;");
                        else
                        if( ch == '&')
                                result.append("&amp;");
                        else
                                result.append( ch );
                }
                return result.toString();
