String mssg=mssg+"<ul onClick='getValue(this)'><li><click me</li></ul>";

I'm executing the java class which consist above code and retrieves the output in html page by using mssg variable. But in html page the value of mssg comes like.....

 <ul onClick='getValue&x28;this&x29;'><li><click me</li></ul>

As we know the ascii value(hexa) of '(' is &#x28 but it comes something different. So please help me to get the parenthesis instead of ascii code. And why parenthesis is converted to that value, please explain.

Please elaborate are you trying to parse an html document? – brso05 Mar 30 '15 at 13:14
So how are you converting the string into an HTML document? It looks to my like the string is being escaped when you don't want it to – Dragondraikk Mar 30 '15 at 13:15
1) Use `System.setProperty("file.encoding", "UTF-8");` or 2) escape `"`: `String mssg=mssg+"
";` or 3) change the encoding of your file... `Which IDE are you using?
