The example you're citing in there is just a generic example.. ie: if you had a taglib called tl it would be called in this way. Not very useful in itself but there you go.
Uri in this instance would be where the taglib's tld would be located if it was installed. Take a look at jakarta's taglib site or the sun taglib tutorial. There are lots of taglibs freely available on the web and after a bit of trawling you should be off and running. http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/ http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/ea1/tutorial/doc/JSPTags.html cheers ------------------------------------------------------ Tref Gare Development Consultant Areeba Level 19/114 William St, Melbourne VIC 3000 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: +61 3 9642 5553 fax: +61 3 9642 1335 website: http://www.areeba.com.au ------------------------------------------------------ "This email is intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above and contains information that is confidential.
