You could write such a custom tag using the LoopTagStatus interface exposed by the JSTL LoopTag interface; there didn't seem to be any reason to design standard tags for these particular cases given how easy the <c:if> syntax is. But custom-tag authors can write tags to "sense" the first or last iteration, differentiate between even and odd rows, and so forth. -- Shawn Bayern "JSP Standard Tag Library" http://www.jstlbook.com (coming this summer from Manning Publications) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
