I had to wait for a web surfer with the "wrong > configuration" to access the site. Browser-based locale setting could certainly cause this to fail. If you want to force the app to always use English, you should probably include the following in web.xml: <context-param> <param-name>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.locale</param-name> <param-value>en_US</param-value> </context-param> If you just want to change that specific tag, try the parseLocale attribute: <fmt:parseDate var="birthdate" value="${param.birthdate}" pattern="MMM-dd-yyyy" parseLocale="en_US"/> > All help appreciated. > > Lamine -- Kris Schneider <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> directThought <http://www.directThought.com/> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
