Re: tag and the value attribute

[John C Cartwright]

Thanks for the prompt reply, David. I didn't realize that there was a Struts-EL library, where would I find such a beast? I don't see mention of it in the 1.1b3 distribution nor in the on-line docs.

Thanks again!

Well, technically you're not using an "RT" expression, but an "EL" expression.
Those will only work with the Struts-EL library (or the JSTL). You're
obviously somewhat familiar with that, or you wouldn't have tried this.

Does that tell you what you need to know?
