Hi thanks for reply, I fear, my mail server is adding the backslashes. I actually have not added these in my code. I tried with your suggestions and still it is not working. I have put my jar file in this path, E:\\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3\\webapps\\skillset\\WEB-INF\\lib
is it okay? Is this is the correct place to keep that jar? After this i used the tag as, <%@ taglib uri=\"/WEB-INF/lib/uptag.jar\" prefix=\"up\" %> Is any thing else is to be done? Like putting tld file some where. Right now it is at one place (WEB-INF/tlds).. I am really not understanding what is happening here. This tag I am using for uploading a file from client. Alternatively, can you please suggest me some servlets for uploading a file? JSP Smart upload is distorting the tables of a word file. Thanks a million, Smita Kotnis.
