my jsp is showing too much in the browser

[Ray Smilgius]

Below is the code for a jsp page problem is it will display the

<!%
public void WriteHeading(String sTitle, bool bIncludeButtons, JspWriter out)
{
String stTitle = sTitle;
if (stTitle.equals(""))
{
stTitle = "InScope";
}
out.print("<font color=\"red\">");
out.print("hi");
out.println("</font>");


}
%>
<%
out.print("<font color=\"red\">");
out.print("hi");
out.println("</font>");
%>
heres the output browser IE 5.0
"); out.print("hi"); out.println(""); } %> hi
the last hi on this line is red

Any ideas I dont want anything showing in the browser from this function unless it is called.
Thanks ray

It looks to me like that last chunk is not in the writeHeading method but is a scriptlet.

i think it a typo but thats whats wrong.
u used <!% instead of <%!
change it and it will work.

Thanks, How could I have overlooked this detail? I must be prone to error, I will check my chipset for a bios update
Thanks ray
