That doesn't work, I already tried it. For starters, you'll get errors because you're using double-quotes both in the <a> tag and the embedded <bean:write> tag. Once you fix that, the mailto: link will just be, literally, the <bean:write> tag, not is expected evaluation.

This should work: <logic:notEmpty name="contact" property="email"> <a href="mailto: <bean:write name="contact" property="email" filter="true" />"> <bean:write name="contact" property="email" filter="true" /> </a> </logic:notEmpty> Kurt Madel Programmer, CSMi (703) 823-4300 ext. 170 -----Original Message----- From: Scott Hodson [mailto:scott@;ubero.com] Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 2:19 PM To: Struts Subject: embedding email address in <html:link> I have a contact bean, which stores contact info. While displaying contact info I want to show the e-mail address as well as having a mailto: hyperlink to the email address. <logic:notEmpty name="contact" property="email"> <html:link href="mailto:????";> <bean:write name="contact" property="email" filter="true" /> </html:link> </logic:notEmpty> What do I replace ???? with? I've tried all of the following and none work <logic:notEmpty name="contact" property="email"> <html:link href="mailto:<%=contact.getEmail()%>"> <bean:write name="contact" property="email" filter="true" /> </html:link> </logic:notEmpty> ...and... <logic:notEmpty name="contact" property="email"> <html:link href="mailto:<bean:write name='contact' property='email' filter='true' />"> <bean:write name="contact" property="email" filter="true" /> </html:link> </logic:notEmpty> ...and... <logic:notEmpty name="contact" property="email"> <bean:define id="emailAddress" name="contact" property="email" /> <html:link href="mailto:<%=emailAddress%>" />"> <bean:write name="contact" property="email" filter="true" /> </html:link> </logic:notEmpty> I'm not sure what else to try. I don't want to have to create my own tag lib just to do this, and I don't want to have to create a whole new getXXX() on my bean to return a proper mailto href, that would be putting presentation logic in a bean, which violates MVC. ___________________________ Scott Hodson (949) 709-4496 office (949) 709-3890 fax [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ubero.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
