So the semantics of the "name" attribute are different between the non-el version and the el version? In the non-el version it's the name of the bean, and in the el version it's the collection itself? That seems pretty odd to me. I would have assumed they would have added a "collection" attribute.

Thanks for the prompt reply! It makes sense that you need to use EL to specify the collection object, but I assumed everything would be backward compatible with the standard displaytag, hence my confusion. Might want to make a note of this somewhere obvious for other users. -Adam On Thu, 2004-03-25 at 11:20, Matt Raible wrote: > The nightly build should allow this: > > <display:table name="${projectList}"... > > Matt > > On Mar 25, 2004, at 12:06 PM, Adam Murray wrote: > > > I should be able to swap in the EL version with no changes to my > > JSPs, correct?
