Consistency is good! ;-) Well, I'm not sure that it is the equivalent functionality. From the spec: "The convention is to use the name var for attributes that export information." So it's more like the id attribute, but it doesn't create a scripting variable. There doesn't seem to be a standard attribute name for the n/p/s equivalent...they just use a name appropriate to what the action does. So c:out uses "value", the conditional tags use "test", iterators use "items". It seems like "var" should only be used when you're creating in attribute in the scope specified by "scope" and that perhaps "value" should be used when simply reading a property (e.g., the form field tags). -- Tim Moore / Blackboard Inc. / Software Engineer 1899 L Street, NW / 5th Floor / Washington, DC 20036 Phone 202-463-4860 ext. 258 / Fax 202-463-4863 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
