passing fmt:message as argument

Sorry if this is more JSPish than strutsish,
but I'm sure someone can help. I have
a javascript I am using for tooltips
and I want to pass text defined in
my applications.resource file to it.

== applications.resource ===
someText=This is some text.

== foo.jsp ===

<img src="images/foo.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="[foo]" 
onmouseover="ddrivetip('This is some text.');" 
onmouseout="hideddrivetip();"/>

What do I need to do to the img tag to use the message in 
applications.resource?

Thanks.

Use the following -- it will work:

<img src="images/foo.gif" width="10" height="10"
alt="[foo]" onmouseover="ddrivetip('<bean:message key="someText"/>');" 
onmouseout="hideddrivetip();"/>

As far as quotes, you just need to make sure that they don't interleave 
-- JSP translation occurs first so you things will work correctly. As 
far as using fmt:message -- either one works okay -- if you do want to 
use the JSTL tags make sure that you define the localization context in 
your web.xml to point to your message resources ...

<web-app>
   <context-param>
     <param-name>
       javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.localizationContext
     </param-name>
     <param-value>
        ApplicationResources
     </param-value>
   </context-param>
...

Don't know... didn't happen to see any examples like that.
Not sure about how the parsing deals with strange nesting of
angle brackets, quotes, etc.

Also, aren't we moving away from bean:message in favor
of fmt:message?

Can't you insert a <bean:write message="myKey"/> there?
