Hi there,

I figured out the problem but it's turned up something I don't understand.

I'm getting the input from the request like this:

String value = context().request().stringFormValueForKey ("input_field");

When someone enters the html entity for a non-breaking space it
is not collapsed with the replaceall() I was using, which makes [sense].


[...]
Also, how do I convert all the incoming non-breaking spaces to normal
spaces which will collapse with the replaceall() method?

String value = context().request().stringFormValueForKey ( "input_field" );
value = value.replaceAll( "(\\Q&nbsp;\\E|\\s)+", " " ).trim();


e.g.,
" abc  &nbsp;  &nbsp;bb " --> "abc bb"

with regards,
