Hi, I think the Joel is right except that the sequence of inner and outer quotes should be the other way round. That is :
<a href='<jsp:expression>response.encodeURL("logout-action.do") </jsp:expression>'> The inner quotes form the part of a method call and should be in double quotes. Hope that helps.

Surely the compiler would read the first opening as a beginning quote and the second opening quote as the end? Ie <a href = "<jsp:expression>response.encodeURL(" then text in the middle of nowhere: logout-action.do and then text in quotes again: ")</jsp:expression>" perhaps if you replace inner quotes with single qoutes it would work? <a href="<jsp:expression>response.encodeURL('logout-action.do')</jsp:expres sion>"> hope that helps Joel ========================= To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
