hi,
you can do this in this way:
<logic:iterate name="promptList" type="my.bean.type" id="element">
<img src="/module/image-directory/<bean:write name="element"
property="gifName"/>" alt="<bean:write name="element" property="name"/>">
<a href="/module/action-path/<bean:write name="element"
property="accession"/>"><bean:write name="element" property="accession"/></a>
</logic:iterate>
kind regards,
frank
