Using expressions as attribute values in

[Anderson, Jessica]

I have tried to use a jsp expression as the value for the page attribute
(page=<%= jsp %>) but the < and > translate as less than greater than
symbols.  I have also tried using the escape character \ before and after
the < and >, but I get the same result in my source HTML:

<a href="http://localhost:8080/internal/&lt;%= jsp %&gt;.do ... >

Does this feature work a different way?  Is there an alternative to using
jsp expressions to dynamically generate these href links?

Thanks,
Jessica
