yes, it's not possible to open a tag within the body of another tag and close it somewhere else. look at the tag lifecycle in the j2ee api doc and then you'll understand why. shortly spoken: tags can only be nested in a hierarchy.

So I've written this code: <c:if test="${HistoryBean.noPayGroups == 2}"> <html-el:link href="entryForm.do?respondent=${HistoryBean.respondent}&payGroup=1"> </c:if> <html-el:img page="/images/step1a.jpg"/><br> Pay Group 1 <c:if test="${HistoryBean.noPayGroup == 2}"> </html-el:link> </c:if> I'm getting a syntax error, pointing to the first </c:if> line. I don't see any syntax problems. Is it impermissible to open a tag within the body of another tag, but not close it there? -- Tim Slattery [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]
