RE: some comparision between JSP/struts and velocity

Timothy,

Sorry, I couldnt disagree with you more.

Custom tags are exactly the place to put html - they are part of the view,
if you look at struts html tags thats what they do. There isnt currently
javascript in any struts tags (just attributes for most javascript events)
and there are probably browser issues that could complicate this, but its on
the Struts to do list to handle client side validation which almost
certainly means javascript and tags.
