Setting html tag attribute value

[Craig Berry <Cr...@portblue.com>]

On a jsp page, I need to set the visibility of a div element based on
the value of a form attribute.  The div is inside an <html:form> element
for the form in question (editDeForm).  The fragment should look
something like:
 
<div style="visibility: ${editDeForm.initialPrecVisibility}"    ...>
 
but JSTL EL attribute tags don't work in non-JSTL tags.  I could go to
the trouble of doing a jsp:bean to grab the form bean, then call the
getter method explicitly to get the value, all inside <% %> in the attr
value, but that strikes me as being far clumsier than it should be using
the JSTL/Struts combo.  So, can someone please point me in the right
direction to handle this?

What happens if you do something like this:

<div style="visibility: <c:out
value='${editDeForm.initialPrecVisiblity}'/>"/>
