Need to find a way so that i could show < exp2://Ticket/18918617> in the html pages.
It is not able to show the string above.
Any HTML or Javascript function to show the string mentioned.

I have added a space < exp2://Ticket/18918617> else it will not be shown in the question itself.

Thanks.

You need to convert your < and > characters to their literal counterparts < and >

You have to use the HTML entity codes for special html characters:

HTML

&lt;exp2://Ticket/18918617&gt;

Here you can find a list of more html entities: http://dev.w3.org/html5/html-author/charref[^]

The term you're looking for is HTML encoding[^].

For example, that string should be encoded as:

HTML

&lt;exp2://Ticket/18918617&gt;

There are a lot of characters which need to be encoded, so don't try rolling your own function. Most languages will provide a standard method to encode a string. For example:

JavaScript

// Using jQuery:
function htmlEncode(value){
  return $('<div/>').text(value).html();
}

// Without jQuery:
function htmlEncode( html ) {
   return document.createElement('div')
      .appendChild( document.createTextNode( html ) )
      .parentNode.innerHTML;
}
