Get String value in HTML (JSP) button

Question

I Have this HTML tag

<button type="submit" name=<%=s %> value=<%=s %>><%=s%></button>

The <%=s %> is a String stored in server with white spaces, like "file one".

My problem is in getting the button name. I'm using the following piece of code:

String btnName = request.GetParameter(s);

It is working, unless if the string presents spaces like "file one". In this case, the part " one" is ignored.

How can I get the whole String?

Thx.

Attributes should be in quotes, and [you should be using EL instead of scriptlets.](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3177733/how-to-avoid-java-code-in-jsp-files) — Matt Ball, Apr 03 '13 at 03:24
I'm not sure about this, but did you try surrounding it within double quotes? — asgs, Apr 03 '13 at 03:25

Put it like the following.

<button type="submit" name='<%=s %>' value='<%=s %>'><%=s%></button>

Note the new single quotes.

@LuiggiMendoza The problem would still remain even if they use EL or JSTL, as long as they don't have quotes. – Pradeep Pati Apr 03 '13 at 03:40
The problem is that `name` attribute should not contain any spaces =\. Note that OP has this `s` String with a value like *file one*. – Luiggi Mendoza Apr 03 '13 at 03:43
@LuiggiMendoza Not necessarily. try this
