turn java variable into javascript variable

Dear all,

Context: JSP

I'm trying to get the value of a java variable and assign it to a javascript variable in order to later on use it in an iframe:

...
 rs.next();
                    entry1 = rs.getString(3);%>
                   
                    <SCRIPT>

					var tt="<%=entry1%>";

                    var content = "<html><body>" + tt+ "</body></html>";

                    var iframe = document.createElement("iframe");
                    document.body.appendChild(iframe);

                    var doc = iframe.document;
                    if(iframe.contentDocument)
                        doc = iframe.contentDocument; // For NS6
                    else if(iframe.contentWindow)
                        doc = iframe.contentWindow.document; // For IE5.5 and IE6
                    // Put the content in the iframe
                    doc.open();
                    doc.writeln(content);
                    doc.close();



				

                    
                    </SCRIPT>
                <%

If I take a look at thepage source code I get this:

<SCRIPT>



					var tt="<pre>A text,......text text text</pre>";



                    var content = "<html><body>" + tt+ "</body></html>";



                    var iframe = document.createElement("iframe");

                    document.body.appendChild(iframe);



                    var doc = iframe.document;

                    if(iframe.contentDocument)

                        doc = iframe.contentDocument; // For NS6

                    else if(iframe.contentWindow)

                        doc = iframe.contentWindow.document; // For IE5.5 and IE6

                    // Put the content in the iframe

                    doc.open();

                    doc.writeln(content);

                    doc.close();







				



                    

                    </SCRIPT>

The value of the javascript variable tt from
var text="<%=entry1%>"; java variable is there! However, the value of tt is not displayed in the web page!!

What is wrong with this?

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards
