Special characters that you wish to use on HTML pages may be displayed differently than intended if they are not converted. For example, "smaller than" and "greater than" signs < > should be written as < and > otherwise they will be interpreted as HTML tags.
In Microsoft ASP it is always safest to send output to the browser using:
<% Server.HTMLencode("String") %>
In PHP you can do the same by using the following syntax which is the server.htmlencode equivalent:
<? htmlspecialchars("String"); ?>
If you are not using server-sided code on your website you can use the following tool which converts any given text to its HTMLencoded (or htmlspecialchars) equivalent. The tool produces HTML code which you can easily copy and paste to your own web pages.
