Hello, I'm hoping that someone knows more about Request-Time Attribute Expressions, a feature of JSP 1.1 that allows an expression inside an attribute value without the XML-unfriendly <%=...%> syntax. As described int the JSP 1.1 spec below, I understand that you can use something like the following: <input type=3D"%=3DmyType%" ... /> To cause myType to be evaluated as a Java request time expression. However, after testing with a couple JSP engines (resin and tomcat), this feature doesn't seem to be implemented. >From the JSP 1.1 spec: -------- 7.6.2 Request-Time Attribute Expressions Request-time attribute expressions are of the form �<%= expression %>�. Although this syntax is consistent with the syntax used elsewhere in a JSP page, it is not a legal XML syntax. The XML mapping for these expressions is into values of the form �%= expression� %�, where the JSP specification quoting convention has been converted to the XML quoting convention. -------- I don't know what the � character is in the example above. I've tried using it as a last resort, but with no luck. If you have any information on this feature I would very much appreciate it. My reason for using it is thatI'm generating JSP files using XSL, and using <%=3D...%> inside an attribute is illegal XML output. It is possible to generate it using CDATA and other mechanisms, but the quoting is quite complex and I am getting different behavior in different XSL processors. thanks! mark =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
