Render as html with bean:write

[post406]

I'm inputing html from a textarea into a database. It goes in as html (I checked), but when I output it with bean:write the <'s and >'s are outputted to the source as &lt and &gt. Anyone know how to make them be <'s and >'s IN THE SOURCE so that they render as a link or bold text to the user for example. Thanks.

P.S. filter = &quot;false&quot; is not what I am looking for...that changes it from &amp lt; to &lt; in the source

i think u need a custom replace method, where u replace all &lt's with <'s and then use a preparedstatement put into the database. btw, filter=&quot;false&quot; should do the trick for u

Yes, the last point areznik makes is correct. filter = &quot;false&quot; DOES do the trick. Some other issue was causing the problem. Thanks for the reply and sorry for leaving that one out there when it was already fixed.
