Hi Christopher, > This is surely down to your IDE and not Struts.
I don't think you understand the problem, because it is not related to an IDE. When you write: <html:text property="whatever"/> The HTML code generated (when viewing the page in Explorer, Netscape, Opera, or whatever) is: <input type="text" name="whatever" value=""> Try it and see (do a view source in your browser).
