No, under JSP 1.1, you can only use the EL in tags that go out of their way to support it (particularly, JSTL tags). Note that JSTL has an XML-manipulation library inspired mostly by XTags, so you might feel right at home migrating to it. Under JSP 2.0, EL expressions will work wherever rtexprvalues currently work, so you'll be able to retrofit the EL to old tags automatically. -- Shawn Bayern "JSTL in Action" http://www.jstlbook.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
