Thanks. That is definitly an improvement. However, what I'm
really looking for is a way to avoid scriplets altogether,
i.e., just use some <jsp:xxx> tag to do the trick. I understand
JSP 1.1 may help in this regard, though I really haven't looked
into that yet. Anyway, your code is much better than mine :-)
Thanks again.
