Thanks! I got it to work by adding the formBeanName in front. I thought if I didn't specify anything in front, all four scopes(page, request, session, and application) would be looked up, and for sure if would find the 'sortField' var, especial the <c:out> is enclosed in a <html:form>.

Peter and Matt are both correct if your form-bean is a DynaActionForm. If you are using a bean that you created yourself then 'formbeanname.sortField' should work for you. ${sortField} alone won't get it done since JSTL doesn't know where to look for this property... Hope that helps... - Billy - On Thu, 10 Jul 2003 14:18:27 -0400, "Sgarlata Matt" wrote: > > Actually I think you have to do > > <c:out value="${formbeanname.map.sortField}"/> > > Matt > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Peter Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Tag Libraries Users List" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 2:15 PM > Subject: Re: How come <c:out> didn't regonize variable? > > > > The sortField looks like a property of your > html:form.
