Formatted output within a nested iterate loop

[Norman Klein]

I currently have a nested iterate loop which looks like the following:

<nested:iterate id="liabilities" name="OverviewForm"
indexId="liabilityIndex" property="liabilities">
        <tr id="lib_<%=liabilityIndex%>_Header" class="appSubHeader">
                <td valign="MIDDLE">
                        <nested:text name="liabilities"
property="unpaidBalance" />
                </td>
</nested iterate>

This works fine, but the "unpaidBalance" field really needs to be formatted
like this: $100,000.00 instead of 100000.0

Since the text tag doesn't directly support a format field, I generally use
this trick:

<input type="text" name="loan.FFFCFee" size="8" maxlength="150"
value="<bean:write name="overviewForm" property="loan.FFFCFee"
format="###,###.00" /> ">

The "value" field is used to supply the necessary formatting capability.

but the following doesn't seem to work:

<nested:text name="liabilities" property="unpaidBalance"
value="<nested:write name="liabilities" property="unpaidBalance"
format="###,###,###.00" />" />

and only generates the following error message:

        Error: Attribute: liabilities" is not a valid attribute name 

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Norman
