I need to pass a jsp string variable to a javascript function. This is usually fairly simple but I'm currently having issues because the string I'm passing contains xml characters. This is the jsp (shortened for clarity purpose) <pre><code><%@page language="java" import="java.util.*" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%> <%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> <body> <input type="button" value="MyButton" onclick="myFunction('<c:out value="${current.xmlOutput}"/>');" /> </body> </html> </code></pre> The value in "current.xmlOutput" contains the following <pre><code><chart caption='Flight Hours' xAxisName='Flight' yAxisName='Hours' ><set label='AC908' value='126' /><set label='AC812' value='234' /><set label='AC184' value='78' /></chart> </code></pre> The generated JSP source <pre><code><input type="button" value="MyButton" onclick="myFunction('&lt; chart caption = &#039;Flight Hours&#039; xAxisName = &#039;Flight&#039; yAxisName = &#039;Hours&#039;&gt;&lt; label = &#039;AC908&#039; value = &#039;126&#039; /&gt; &lt; label = &#039;AC812&#039; value = &#039;234&#039; /&gt; &lt; label = &#039;AC184&#039; value = &#039;78&#039; /&gt; &lt;/ chart &gt;');" /> </code></pre> When I press the button it never calls the function. If "current.xmlOutput" contains a simple String like "Test" everything works fine. In the chrome developer tools it give me the following message "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier " Also, I have a filter that does this req.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"); Any one know what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
