jsp - set value of input tag (html) from a java string

Question

I\'m facing a strange problem here. The situation is like this:

I\'m trying to set a value for an input tag from a java string:

Answer 1

As everybody said use double quotes

<input type="text" name="line" value=<%=line%>  ></input>

The above line is only for correct your line and,if possible please do not use scriplets.Those are expired.

Please go through this How to avoid Java code in JSP files?

Answer 2

<input type="text" name="line" value="<%=line%>"></input>

Answer 3

Put double quotes around the value like this -

<input type="text" name="line" value="<%=line%>"></input>

HTML uses space to separate different attributes/tags.
