The example provided isn't quite right, because the quotes are incorrect. This will work:
<img src='<bean:write name="BEAN" property="property"/>'> The reason it works is because, as far as JSP is concerned, the HTML <img> element is just template text, not XML. You are correct that you cannot use a tag in the attribute value of another tag because of the rules of XML, so using the Struts tag instead, like this: <html:img src='<bean:write name="BEAN" property="property"/>'/> does not work. -- Martin Cooper > -----Original Message----- > From: Andy Kriger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 1:03 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: RE: dynamic img src attribute > > > When I tried something like that, the <bean:write .../> > string ended up in > my HTML img src - it wasn't interpreted (that is what I'd > expect to happen > since XML isn't supposed to have tags w/in tags and JSPs are > supposed to > conform to XML) > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dave Weis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 16:04 > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: RE: dynamic img src attribute > > > > On Thu, 19 Sep 2002, Andy Kriger wrote: > > That is neat - but I'm not talking about query parameters. > I'm talking > about > > the src string itself. > > <img src="<bean:write name="BEAN" property="property"/>"> > > should do it. > > dave > > > >I tried asking this few days ago when my understanding of > struts was > > >significantly less than it is now (and I didn't phrase my > question very > > well > > >at that). > > > > > >Here's what I'd like to do... > > ><img src='<dynamically generated path stored in a bean>' /> > > >with the constraint that I'd like to avoid the <% %> > syntax (i want to > keep > > >the JSP free of these things completely for the sake of the content > > >generating folks that don't know Java/JSP code). > > > > > >Is there a struts taglib or other taglib that allows you > to do something > > >like... > > ><img> > > > <param name='src' bean='myBean' property='beanProp' > scope='beanScope'> > > ></img> > -- > Dave Weis "I believe there are more instances of > the abridgment > [EMAIL PROTECTED] of the freedom of the people by gradual > and silent > encroachments of those in power than by violent > and sudden usurpations."- James Madison > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
