Thanks to both of you for pointing that link out.

Hmm...Do you mean standard-taglibs.jar?

Well, I still would like to see taglib documentation distributed with the standard-taglibs. I really appreciate the help I've gotten from the list, but I am disappointed that the result has been links to external references and the specification. Even before I joined the list, I spent some time googling, searching on java.sun.com for information on what the available tags in jstl were, etc...Maybe I'm coming at this from the wrong direction, I've been working with Java for a number of years and to me it just seems natural that if you have an API you would have a set of HTML files (Javadoc) describing that API. In this case, I was expecting/looking for something similar to http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/application-doc/index.html I just found it frustrating that the resources that I am used to aren't available.
In any case, I have what I needed to get started. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. -- chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
