Text box value is not being completely filled with request attribute

Hi,

In a jsp,I am trying to fill the text box value from a request attribute i.e

Seller user = (Seller)request.getAttribute("seller");

<INPUT type="text" name="firstname" <% if (user != null) { %> value = <%= user.getCountry() %> <% } %>size="50" />

whats happening is it is displaying value only before the space ,for example if country is United States,its displaying only United,same thing is happening with other fields too.

Am I missing something ?Please advice.

Thanks.

try this,

Thanks for the reply.This logic is not applicable as it is displaying text box with value only if user is not null,whereas I need to display the text box in any case.Also even if i use this logic,its still not displaying the complete value.

Look at the resulting HTML using View Source in your browser. What's missing? You should see it easily.

I checked the source,it has complete value i.e

<INPUT type="text" name="location" value = united states size="70" />

if I am displaying the value without text box,using only
<%= user.getCountry() %>, its displaying complete value but in text box its displaying incomplete value.

You don't notice anything missing from that line? Really? Look closer!

I am embarrassed for being so harrassed that couldn't notice the " " marks around value

Thanks, its working now!

But I suspect that you'll never make that same mistake again!

I will not !
