Not a problem. >One of the things I learned, in watching the development of JSTL, is that >tags with lots and lots of optional attributes, and different operating >modes, can be really hard to understand -- and that describes quite a >number of Struts tags today.

Easily being a toggle for going through the JS or not. It's just that there's a couple more to do the same kind of building for the JS arguments. There's already a "javascript" Struts tag too from David. Brandon: The -1 & +1 business is the decision making process... http://jakarta.apache.org/site/decisions.html Unit tests... http://www.junit.org/index.htm ...personally though, I'd rather have a small specific environment linke a page or something so I can watch it dance. In this case, simply a page that has a list of links which go over all the different cases the tag is meant to do. Unit tests are more than just a harness. For an automated build/test process and whatever. Anyways, the link has way more information than I could ever spiel.
