Tami, To do what you want, you have to use the <%= %> tag. The content of this tag
cannot be arbitrary Java code; it must be a Java expression. In the case you gave,
this should work:
statusoptions = "<option value=\"H\" <%= ( (status.equals(\"C\")) ? \"SELECTED\" :
\"\" ) %>>HOLD";
If you are unfamiliar with question-mark-colon operator, please consult a Java
book.
Yours, JonTom
