Rick, Are you still pursuing this? If so, I use the following comment hack:
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; %><%-- --%><%@ attribute name="items" required="true" type="java.util.Collection"%><%-- --%>... I've also seen this in use: <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; %><%@ attribute name="items" required="true" type="java.util.Collection" %>... Quoting Rick Reumann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I created a simple forEach type of delimeter tag that works well for me > (code at end). The problem, though, is I need to use this tag within a > javascript method to produce a string that'll be used in a dhtml popup. > The problem is that, even if I make this tag file all on one line, I > still end up with at least one line break- that when used within the > javascript causes problems. > > For example I need to call something like.. > > onmouseover="return doSomethingWithString('<tags:MyTag .../>');" > > Is there a way to avoid the line breaks that mess up the above > javascript? or I guess another option is to return a String from a > function vs using this as a tag file?
