Hi, yes you can use the EL but depends on the Web Container you are using. If you have a Web container JSP2.0 (and 2.4 servlet) compliant (for example Tomcat5.0.x), you can use JSTL 1.1 (if you want to use them you have to set your application)and html Struts standard. In order to use, this version you have to do the following in the jsp page:
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html"; prefix="html"%> <html:hidden property="contentId" value="${contentId}"/> But if you have a WebContainer JSP1.2 compliant (e.g. Tomcat 4.x) you have to use the html-el version + JSTL1.0. They are in the "contrib" directory inside the struts directory. But in this case the procedure in order to use them is just to complicate.

Basically, i'd like to do something like this: <html:hidden property="contentId" value="<c:out value="${contentId}"/>"/> Which does not work. Should i be using EL syntax instead? And what would the correct syntax be? I did check that <c:out value="${contentId}"/> returns a valid value so my confusion is just passing it as a value to the html:hidden property. Any help is greatly appreciated. James __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
