Might there be an approach to the application where you don't use XSLT to produce JSP? For example, XSLT can take parameters (and it's even fairly simple to use them if you use a server-side application environment such as Cocoon), so it might be that you can pass parameters into the XSLT, and therefore just use: <input type="hidden" name="ProductID" value="{$productid}" /> >> In fact, I'm very surprised that you managed to get a > processor to >> output: >> >> <input type="hidden" name="ProductID" >> value="<%=request.getParameter > (\"productid\")%>"> >>have a look >> at the raw source in a basic text editor to see what's > really there. > > The above is actually the source document I saw.

OK, I see why - the spec says "The html output method should not escape < characters occurring in attribute values." The processor is using the HTML output method, so isn't escaping the <s.
