Hi -
The string taglib sounded so useful that I just installed it. Unfortunately
I am getting a 500 error when accessing the page that uses it (see below).
Any ideas why?
My environment is: Java 2 SDK SE, v 1.4.1 and Tomcat 4.1.
Thanks,
Dylan MacDonald

Yep, that's exactly the reason for no releases, it's just not been worth
the messing around to support EL under JSP 1.1, though I did do the code
as a 'why not' in CVS.
By the way, I think you want the truncateNicely tag, or possibly the
wordWrap tag.
