use a declarative block instead. <%! vs <% look at this doc: http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/tags/12/syntaxref12.html and look at the difference between declaration and scriplet. You should probably bookmark this page. You'll get alot of answers to questions like this. -Tim

I am having codes as below. I'd like to know how to write them as methods. This is because I am writing exactly the same twice which as a result makes code long and redundant. I am imaging for the code to look like: if (condition) { .....statement.... func(); <- created method } else { .....statement... func(); <- created method } Code I want to write as func(); ------------------------------------------------------- while(rs.next()) { if (condition) { %> ---HTML--- <% tableHTML = ---htmlstring---; %> <%= tableHTML %> <% ResultSet rs2 = db2.getResultSet(...SQL...); ResultSet rs3 = db3.getResultSet(...SQL...); while (rs2.next()) { .........statement.......... while (rs3.next()) { .......statement.......... } // rs3 loop } // rs2 loop } // if } // rs loop %> ------------------------------------------------------- =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
