Thanks very much, both of you. The format I went with was:
<div style="visibility: <c:out
value='${editDeForm.initialPrecVisibility}'/>" ...>
It's good to know that even this less severe ugliness will go away in
JSP 2.0.

Or:
<c:out escapeXml="false" value="<div
style='visibility:${editDeForm.initialPrecVisiblity}'>"/>
Or: (better suited for a boolean)
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${editDeForm.initialPrecVisiblity == 'hidden'}>
<div style="visibility:hidden">
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<div style="visibility:blah">
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
BTW: JSP 2.0 will support ${blah} notation outside of the JSTL taglib so
even if it looks ugly and awkward right now. It is just temporary :)

What happens if you do something like this:
<div style="visibility: <c:out
value='${editDeForm.initialPrecVisiblity}'/>"/>

Subject: Setting html tag attribute value
On a jsp page, I need to set the visibility of a div element based on
the value of a form attribute. The div is inside an <html:form> element
for the form in question (editDeForm). The fragment should look
something like:
<div style="visibility: ${editDeForm.initialPrecVisibility}" ...>
but JSTL EL attribute tags don't work in non-JSTL tags. I could go to
the trouble of doing a jsp:bean to grab the form bean, then call the
getter method explicitly to get the value, all inside <% %> in the attr
value, but that strikes me as being far clumsier than it should be using
the JSTL/Struts combo. So, can someone please point me in the right
direction to handle this?
