Yes Jeff / David this works for me ....
David> Try using "<c:url>" and "<c:param>" to build up a url with
parameters, then
David> reference the "${url}" variable from the "href" attribute of
"<html:link>".
<c:url value="userPg" var="url">
<c:param name="ID" value="${item['id']}"/>
<c:param name="Dispatch" value="Zoom"/>
</c:url>
<a href='<c:out value="${url}"/>'>[Zoom...]</a>
ending up with the following displayed in the JSP
[Zoom...]
with the following link / URL properties
http://localhost/do/userPg?ID=22&Dispatch=Zoom
will open in the same window
