When working with a String variable in JSP and trying to display it in a form field, there might be an issue if the string contains spaces. Only the first word is displayed instead of the entire sentence.
Below is the code snippet along with the resulting output:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
String abc = "this is a string with spaces";
%>
<h3>Displaying string outside form: </h3>
<p> <%= abc %> </p>
<h3>Displaying string inside form:</h3>
<form>
<input type = "text" value = <%= abc %>>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Output: Click here.
Is there a way to display the entire sentence in the form field?
