This does not work. The "?" must be part of the EL expression, or ?
What I want is that if MyBean.checkA is true, then doJS('staticvalue','#{beanA.value}'); should be printed into the attribute value. This expression has to be in single quotes. The problem is that the JavaScript parameters in this function call have to be also in single quotes. Something like your suggestion: onclick=#{MyBean.checkA}?'doJS('staticvalue','#{beanA.value}');':'alert('hello'));'" is rendered as true?'doJS('staticvalue','bla');':'alert('hello'));' Michael -----Original Message----- From: Mike Kienenberger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Donnerstag, 29.

Are you trying to do this? onclick=#{MyBean.checkA}?'doJS('staticvalue','#{beanA.value}');':'alert('hello'));'" Only put #{} around parts you want interpreted by EL.
