Servleta and anchor tags?

[Meadowlark Bradsher]

I have a puzzle to resolve.
If you click here you will see a simple webpage generated by the servlet in response. No big deal. Its essentially a HelloWorld servlet but try clicking on the e-mail tag "[e-mail]" and you'll get a strange servlet 500 error.
Once the HTML get sent back to the sender, it is the browser that has to implement the <a href"mailto:[e-mail]"> tag. I find this reaction strange. Has anyone encountered this before?

I wish I could edit that thread title. It should be "Servlets and anchor tags?". I saw the typo just after I hit submit.

Oh well

Do a view-source and you will see:
<a HREF=& q u o t ; MAILTO:[e-mail] & q u o t ; >
(I had to add spaces to make this show up right)
NOT the correct format - what is substituting & q u o t ; for the " mark ?
<a HREF="MAILTO:[e-mail]" >

Thanks Bill,
My code was just a little unclean. And you pointed it out for me.
