rich text editor displaying back from database

RICH TEXT EDITOR
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...itor/index.htm

hello i just tried the RTE and it's really a nice script and it works great for me except for one thing:

if i type and format some text and then save it into a longtext field in my database everything works, but when i open again the page with the editor and the text is retrieved from the DB, the html tags are not translated back into bold or anything else.
i see <STRONG> and the other tags.
i know this is how the editor works but shouldn't these tags be translated back when retrieving back saved text? what am i doing wrong?
thanks in advance,
tool

could u post a link to ur problematic page? :p

actually i cannot give the link because it is inside a reserved area for (that)system administrators.
i can paste the code of the jsp hoping it helps:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <%@ include file="/inc/init.jsp" %> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="it" lang="it"> <head> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="richtext_compressed.js"></script> <script language='JavaScript' src="/gest_ag_ut/JS/agenzie.js"></script> <title>Note per <c:out value='${requestScope.codice}'/></title> <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" /> <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" /> <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" /> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> </head> <body bgcolor="#E5EDBA"> <table width="100%" align="center"> <tr><td> <form name="form_editnote" action="/gest_ag_ut/Note" method="POST" onsubmit="return submitForm();"> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> function submitForm() { //make sure hidden and iframe values are in sync before submitting form //to sync only 1 rte, use updateRTE(rte) //to sync all rtes, use updateRTEs updateRTE('note'); //updateRTEs(); //alert("note = " + document.RTEDemo.rte1.value); //change the following line to true to submit form return true; } //Usage: initRTE(imagesPath, includesPath, cssFile) initRTE("images/", "", "rte.css"); // </script> <input type="hidden" name="richiesta" value="salva"> <input type="hidden" name="codice" value="<c:out value='${requestScope.codice}'/>"> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> //Usage: writeRichText(fieldname, html, width, height, buttons, readOnly) writeRichText('note', '<c:out value="${requestScope.note}"/>', 400, 450, true, false); </script> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Salva"> </table> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> </script> </form> <c:if test="${requestScope.esito=='ERRORE'}"> <c:out value='${requestScope.esito}'/>: <c:out value='${requestScope.errore}'/> </c:if> <c:if test="${requestScope.esito=='ok'}"> <script language="JavaScript"> window.close(); </script> </c:if> </td></tr> </table> </body> </html>

and in the jsp's directory i put insert_table.htm, palette.htm, blank.htm, rte.css, richtext_compressed.js .

thanks again,
tool

i found the reason.
in the database hello is correctly stored as <STRONG>hello</STRONG> and it's retrieved back in the right way until it is passed to the browser (IE 6),
than the browser (or maybe javascript?!... wait wait, i think it's the JSTL library that do that!) do some urlencode so that < and > become < and gt; .
that is why it is not translated.
how could i prevent that?

thanks!
tool

again i finally did it.
there's a non-required attribute in the <c: out> tag of JSTL which is called escapeXml.
it's default value is true, it is enought to specify it to false and the trick is done!

thanks dudes!
