hi bill, the solution you've lined out works greatly, but I'm wondering why it is not possible to turn off the <script...></script>-tag, because inside an .js file it doesn't make sense to have the html tags included.

Now you can safely set the 'staticJavascript="false"' on the html:javascript tag throughout your regular JSPs. Good Luck! Bill Siggelkow J.
