Re: tag inside tag

Two issues may be at work here:

1. It isn't valid to have a JSP tag render an attribute value for another
JSP tag. This might work instead, depending on the scope of styleVar:

 <html:text
 name="Customer"
 property ="Name"
 maxlength="256"
 size="256"
 style="<%=styleVar%>"
 />

2. Are you missing the <%@ taglib %> thingy for the html taglib in your JSP?

Subject: <c:out> tag inside <html:text> tag


Hi...I am facing some problems with using JSTL tags inside struts tags.

This is the piece of code I wrote for my application:

 <html:text
 name="Customer"
 property ="Name"
 maxlength="256"
 size="256"
 style="<c:out value="${styleVar}"/>"
 />

the problem is that it is getting traslated to

<html:text
 name="w_CustomerWin"
 property ="wca_Name"
 maxlength="256"
 size="256"
 style="width:100;height:22;position:absolute;top:20;left:56;display:none;"
 />

in the final html page!!

can anybody please tell me why the <html:text> tag is not getting translated
to <input type="text .....> ?

thank you..

Re: tag inside tag

Hi Max,

Thanks for the reply...

I have found a work around for the problem...but it looks wierd!!

These are the steps I performed:

1. I am setting the styleVar as follows:

    <c:set var="styleVar">
            <c:choose>
                    some JSTL conditional stmts
            </c:choose>
    </c:set>

2. Then I retrieve the value using the following scriptlet:

     <% String str = pageContext.findAttribute("styleVar").toString(); %>

3. Now I can use the value of str inside my <html:text> tag as follows:

     <html:text
         name="Customer"
         property ="Name"
         maxlength="256"
         size="256"
         style="<%=str%>"
       />

The wierd part is that if I put

            style="<%=pageContext.findAttribute("styleVar").toString()%>"

inside the <html:text> tag it wont work!!!

Can anybody tell me why it is so?? I am stumped!

thank you all...
rahul
