I think that would be "requestScope", not "request". Someday someone's going to write a TLV for development that throws an exception if any symbol referenced in an EL expression doesn't exist (I'm not even sure that algorithm would have caught your error, though).

That used to happen magically with <html-el:errors/> using the errors.header & errors.footer in the ApplicationResources.properties file. I started to write <c:if test"${not empty ... But I don't know what to check for emptiness. I see that the errors are in request scope under the key org.apache.struts.action.ERROR but all sorts of variations of this break my page: <c:if test"${not empty request['org.apache.struts.action.ERROR']}"> It's late on Friday, I'm probably missing something really simple... -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
