Well, I believe that you are not allowed to mix static and dynamic text within a JSP, so something like
alert("Error message: <bean:write name="msg"/>"); should fail. I read once that enclosing the dynamic text in single quotes whould work (never tried it though). One solution that I do know is: <snip> <% String tempString="Error message: " + whateverBean.getWhatever(); %> alert(<%= tempString %>); </snip> Its ugly, but it works. Anyone know of a more elegant solution? Note that you need to get to the data contained in the bean you are writing from, possibly with a request.getAtribute("attributeName"); Good luck, Andreas -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Daniel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 24.
