RE: what's the best way to have an if/else clause?

Jay, Have you looked into JSTL's choose tag? core:choose core:when test='${ empty requestScope.activeMenu || requestScope.activeMenu == displayHome}' tr class=Selected td class=LeftNavigation bean-el:message key=navigation.left.home/ /td /tr

RE: what's the best way to have an if/else clause?

Jay, JSTL is packaged with the Struts 1.1 release. So you should have the jar file availablejust pull it into the web-inf\lib. I also prefer to make sure my application has the complete library set. Hope this works for youif you need any points be more than willing to assist.
