Ended up that the problem was with the single quote within the <html:text tag's onfocus attribute. If you build the window.status string outside of the html:text tag like below, it works.
<% String onFocus = "window.status='Enter Search Parameters'"; %> <html:text property="searchText" size="55" onfocus="<%=onFocus%>" onblur="window.status=window.defaultStatus"/> Thanks! -mel harris --- Francois-Xavier Bonnet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Taglibs attributes are case sensitive.
