simple question
Howto internationalize the labels of buttons
is it possible or not to nest tags this way : <input type="submit"
name="ListOrg" Value="<fmt:message
key=\"org.menu.btn.list\" bundle=\"${nav}\"/>" >
and if not, what are the interests of JSTL if we have to go back to JSP
expressions, or scriptlets so often, and if the use of tags needs
development skills?
is it "really" a decoupling between logic and presentation ? I doubt...

Philippe

Thanks I'll try it with the c:set tag with a body,
I just tried before with a c:set tag with no body, just trying to affect the
result to the "value" attribute, and it wasn't working

You can't have a tag as the value of another tag's attribute. Maybe this is
what you want.
<c:set var="items">
<fmt:message key="org.type" bundle="${lang}"/>
</c:set>
<c:forEach var="item" items="${items}">

Re: simple question
Posted by Philippe Petit <ph...@noos.fr>.
Thanks to Hans I got my button working as well, but I have no idea for the
upload button...
I'm facing another issue with tag encapsulation, I'm not able to have a
forEach tag use a fmt tag for its items value :
<select name="foo">
<c:forEach var="item" items="<fmt:message key=\"org.type\"
bundle=\"${lang}\"/>">
<option value="<c:out value="${item}"/>" ><c:out value="${item}"/></option>
</c:forEach>
</select>
I tried with and without quotes, etc and its not working... Any help is
welcome

Cordialement

I have internationalized all buttons in my project successfully using JSTL, except the file up load button. Any
suggestions on having a internationalization label on a file upload button?
Thanks,

What you're trying to do works fine, except that there's no need to
escape the quotes around the <fmt:message> attributes (that actually
causes the problem you most likely experience).
The key is to realize that the <input> element is not seen as an
element at all by the JSP container; it's just "template text", since
the JSP container doesn't know anything about HTML. So your example
should look like this:
<input type="submit" name="ListOrg"
value="<fmt:message key="org.menu.btn.list" bundle="${nav}"/>" >
Again, since the container regards the HTML <input> element as any ol'
template text, this is no different than this as far as it's concerned:
foo <fmt:message key="org.menu.btn.list" bundle="${nav}"/> bar
It's just to us poor humans it looks confusing ;-)
