That will work I suppose I was just hoping that there was a somewhat more elegant way of doing it, the fact that I'm not using JSTL should have hit me in the face that this wouldn't be elegant however.
thanks for the thought. On 11/14/06, Puneet Lakhina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

You could probably clean up the logic tags also. But i havent ever done JSTL so... thanks in advance for any thoughts or ideas. > > Hope it helps -- Puneet
