   The above wouldn't work since I can't cast a primitive int to a
   String like that, but even
   <%= Integer.parseInt( ((CarBean)element).getId() ) %>
   wouldn't work. It's only inside of a tag that I have this problem
   using <%= %> syntax or even <% %> which doesn't work at all. Oh
   well, with the below I'm fine...

KH> Also you might want to check out multibox... Like this:

KH> <logic:iterate id="element" name="cars">
KH>      <html:multibox property="carID">
KH>        <bean:write name="element" property="id" />
KH>      </html:multibox>
KH> </logic:iterate>

    Thanks Kevin! That multibox works perfectly. No need to use the
    scriplet above when using the multibox like:

    <logic:iterate id="element" name="cars">
         <TR>
            <TD><bean:write name="element" property="carName"/></TD>
            <TD>
             <html:multibox property="carID">
               <bean:write name="element" property="id" />
             </html:multibox>
            </TD>
         </TR>
    </logic:iterate>
