Hi, Ray,
Why is what you are doing superior to the standard? The standard is
something like the following and is very efficient, I think?
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<!--
ERRORS
-->
<logic:messagesPresent>
<ul>
<html:messages id='error'>
<li>
<bean:write name='error'/>
</li>
</html:messages>
</ul>
</logic:messagesPresent>
<!--
MESSAGES
-->
<logic:messagesPresent message='true'>
<ul>
<html:messages id='message' message='true'>
<li>
<bean:write name='message'/>
</li>
</html:messages>
</ul>
</logic:messagesPresent>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
