Vikram, It is not difficult. For Jakarta tomcat (perhaps others??). In short: 0. Download the taglib distribution you wish to use. 1. put the .tld file under the directory WEB-INF/taglibs/ 2. put the .jar file anywhere and make sure it is in your CLASSPATH 3. Modify the WEB-INF/web.xml file as per the taglib's html documentation 4. Put the <%@ taglibs uri="xyz..." prefix="??" %> in your JSP Please review the http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/tutorial.html for more detailed info. -- tim maggio senior consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xenotrope.com for any speculation which does not at first seem crazy, there is no hope
