I can't use the html-el tag for this, because then Struts wants to
pre-populate the text box and will complain that there are no
getJunk/getJunk methods in my ActionForm. If I could figure out how to make
something that *looks* like a text-box (with CSS?), I'd do that instead.
But lacking that knowledge, a read-only text box is what I'm using.
Thanks for the syntax help. Looks like I need the c:out tag:
<input type="text" name="junk" readonly="readonly" size="50"
value="<c:out value="${preferredNames[staffMember]}"/>"/>
(This is starting to look like Perl!)
