Hi Boris - post your code and I'll try it in my container. Clive

Actually, I was talking about the _value_ of the id attribute, the name is of course statically defined in the TLD. However, code similar to your example didn't work for me under Tomcat 3.2.1. The string value of the id is kept with the <%=" and "%>, i.e. it is not evaluated at all (and the attribute is declared with <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue> in the TLD). I guess I'll have to investigate more the issue with various containers. But ideally I would like to know what the JSP standart says about this, neither 1.1. nor 1.2 is explicit enough.
