In my JSP I want to conditionally make an image and some text into a hyperlink, depending on conditions. 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="${HistoryBean.noPayGroup == 2}"> </html-el:link> </c:if>
I'm getting a syntax error, pointing to the first </c:if> line. I don't see any syntax problems. Is it impermissible to open a tag within the body of another tag, but not close it there?
Yes; tags must nest cleanly.
Solve like this:
<c:if test="..."><c:set var="url">case 1</c:set></c:if>
<c:if test="not ..."><c:set var="url" >case 2</c:set></c:if>
<html-el:link page="${url}">...</html-el:link>Joe
