in EL you don't have to take care that prevArticle is not null to prevent a runtimeException. So if it aligns with your intention <c:if test="${article ne prevArticle}"></c:if> (it will also be true, iff one in article,prevArticle is null) hope i didn't confuse anything axel > > Good Luck! > > Bill Siggelkow > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > 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]
