Font Tag is deprecated see http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/graphics.html#edef-FONT If you are on JSP 2.0 it is very easy to write a Tag yourself. Just override doTag() method of SimpleTagSupport class.

See:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/SimpleTagSupport.html
http://www.sitepoint.com/print/jsp-2-simple-tags - very simple tutorial.

I think tomcat 5.x comes bundled with basic examples you should be able to find examples in webapp jsp-examples. Look in folder TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\jsp-examples\jsp2\simpletag for HelloWorldSimpleTag.java.html

Thanks,

Anything you can do with a font tag you can do with CSS. In this day and age no one should be using font tags anymore!

I dont think CSS can work in this case as the CSS would be static. I want to display color of the font based on the value of severity of message i.e. if the message is critical it should be displayed in red, info in blue, etc. i.e. It would depend on the value of a form bean property.

Hi All,

I want to create a custom tag which wraps the plain html font tag in
such a way that it fetches the color of the font to be displayed on a
pre-configured severity level. Can anyone pl suggest how can I do that.

regards,
Pankaj
