Hi all..
I hope this topic should go here..

<input type="text" name="username" value=<%=rs.getString("UserName")%> >

im using above code to let the users to update their details when they want to do..
bt here view source shows the original username like below..

<input type="text" name="username" value=abc >

..


can anyone help me to get rid of this..? or any other suggestions..?

Can you give us the code that the form is using to update the username, because the only rashional way I can think of is shoving this value into a hidden input field, and then telling the script that (this is in PHP - don't know JSP but the theory is there):

if (isset($_POST['username'])) {
		 $username = $_POST['username'];}
else {
	  $username = $_POST['oldUsername'];}

HTML

<input type="hidden" name="oldUsername" value=<%=rs.getString("UserName")%>  />
<input type="text" name="username" value="Enter new username if you wish to change it" />

Sorry I can't just lay out the JSP for you, but just maybe someone here can give you the details, or maybe you can even figure something out.

Basically what the script will do is say, If the user filled in the new username field then set that as the Username, if they didn't then use the value that was sent in the hidden field.

Good Luck,
Greg

I'm not 100% sure I understand your question (but I think I do). When printing values to a HTML element like that you cannot stop them from viewing their values with View Source

Thanks for everone's reply..
as PsychoCoder said When printing values to a HTML element as i did ,we cannot stop them from viewing their values with View Source.. so i just changed my design..
