Re: Replacing returns with br

2004-04-14 Thread Keith 
When I try putting the '\\\n' in with the escapeXmL attribute set to false, I get this:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /filename.jsp(301,2) Attribute escapeXmL invalid 
for 
tag out according to TLD

Which makes no sense what-so-ever. I tried just putting the escapeXmL=false 
attribute 
in with '\n' being my string, and I get my original error.

I think the problem may be that it's not seeing \n as the return character from my 
database.

Any ideas?

Keith

 Not very intuitive, but the following should work:
 
   c:set var=s5 value=First line\nSecond line/
   c:out value=${fn:replace(s5,'\\\n','br')} escapeXml=false/

you have a typo: the attribute is escapeXml ,not escapeXmL (look at the 'L')

RE: Replacing returns with br

Woops! :p

Well, that got rid of the invalid attribute error. But, it's not doing the replacing. 
It 
looks like it would if I just did a normal c:out.

I just went with a pre tag using a CSS style to change its appearance.

Thanks for the help, though!
