Need help with getting the value from ApplicationResources.properties

[Lilylove toshop]

 Hi All,
I've defined the invalid login in my ApplicationResources.properties as
error.login.generic=Invalid login or password.  Please contact the <a 
href="help.jsp">Help Desk</a> to reset your password.
Instead of displaying the Help Desk link, it displays <a href="help.jsp">Help 
Desk</a> on the page.
Could you please help!!
Thanks,Lily
