In my web application, i have textbox whose value are got from Database. In DB the value of the textbox contains entity references such as &< etc but while rendering it on screen its not getting fetched correctly.

Example Value in DB : Hi & How are you

Output Coming : Hi & How are you

Required output : Hi & How are you

                    <xsl:choose>
                        <xsl:when test="@db-value ='' ">
                            <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="db-value" VALUE="{para-description}" />
                        </xsl:when>
                        <xsl:otherwise>
                            <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="db-value" VALUE="{@db-value}" />
                        </xsl:otherwise>
                    </xsl:choose>

I want the {@db-value} to appear correctly as mentioned in the example.

Thanks in advance

What does it show as in the source of the XML you're passing from the db to your XSLT? – Rowland Shaw May 14 '15 at 10:19
its showing with the & only not getting parsed. – Nishanth Gandhidoss May 14 '15 at 10:21
its taking the value from DB and diplaying as it is .. i want that to parse and display as a special character not with & – Nishanth Gandhidoss May 14 '15 at 10:25
Sounds like your error is your code reading from DB and generating the source XML, as the string literal `&` would need to be encoded as `&` if part of an XML file. – Rowland Shaw May 14 '15 at 10:37
& -> & this is what i want.so there is no way of changing it from xml or html files itself ? – Nishanth Gandhidoss May 14 '15 at 10:39
Within the HTML file, the `&` should always be encoded as `&`, so it's unclear what the problem is? – Rowland Shaw May 14 '15 at 11:15
Try using ``. – michael.hor257k May 14 '15 at 11:19
