Can " format strings" be used with html:text input fields

[Norman Klein <no...@first-franklin.com>]

Currently we use "format strings" to control the display output of our
financial fields for bean:write output statements.

	bean:write name="overviewForm" property="LHO_AppraisedPrice"
format="$###,###,###.00" />

This "format string" ensures that thousands and hundred thousands values
automatically have the appropriate number of commas inserted and that the
value ends with ".00". Is there a similiar clean way to do this with
"<html:text" fields. It won't recognize a "format" attribute and I would
prefer to keep all formatting in the JSP file and out of the corresponding
action.
ex.
	<html:text property="LHO_AppraisedPrice" />

Thanks, Norman

Here's a quick work-around:

<input type="text" name="LHO_AppraisedPrice" value="<bean:write
name="overviewForm"
            property="LHO_AppraisedPrice"
            format="$###,###,###.00" />">
