JSPWriter output incorrect when using IE5.5/win95

[dheeraja]

I am testing my web application on IE4.0/5.0 and 5.5SP2
With IE5.5SP2, I am getting a problem.
In a JSP, I use JSPWriter to put HTML output and the output is getting modified.
a tag like

<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;date&quot; value=&quot;2002/07/24&quot;> is

outputted as

<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;date&quot; value=&quot;&quot;>.

That is, the values of the parameters are being defaulted to empty string.
This is only in IE5.5 and I am running windows95 as the OS.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have found out the real cause of the problem.
When doing a form submit, all the hidden parameters in the form are coming out as null when I try to retrieve them
in the servlet using
String name = request.getParameter(&quot;paramName&quot;

This behaviour only occurs when I use IE5.5.
Does anyone know of a limit to the size a form's content must be when submitting or what could be the reason for the above problem?
