Display Struts Application Resource Property with apostrophe in JSP with javascript alert

[siva sankar]

Hi,
I am using Struts 1.2 .I have a jsp page where in I need to display an javascript alert message by retreiving the message key value from Application Resources properties file as soon as the page is displayed.
The message property has single quote (') in the value.I used '','\',"\'",’ to display single quote but I am unable to display the '.

The message key and value in the properties file is :

display.clientnotfound.msg = Client's account data not found.

I jsp,I am displaying the alert as
<script>
alert('<bean:message key= "display.clientnotfound.msg" />')
</script>

Can anyone suggest me on how I can display property value with ' using javascript alert message.


Thanks in Advance,
Siva

Since it is probably the browser that is interpreting the single quote as ending the alert message, you can't use Java code escape characters (i.e. \' ).
Try using an HTML entity to replace the apostrophe:

’

Hmm. It looks like the code tags are eating my HTML entity. Click here and scroll down to "Html Entity (named)"

I took the liberty of fixing Joe's code block.

Thanks Joe. But even after using ’ it is not working. is there any other special code to be used to achieve this?
