Not double quotes, single quotes. basically here's an expanded view
of what I meant, (you should remove all the spaces before you try it):
value=" ' 02 ' ". If you use value=" " 02 " ", then the JSP
processor reads it as an empty value folowed by some gibberish that it
doesn't understand, so you have to wrap the literal value in single
quotes, then wrap that in the double quotes required by HTML. Does
that make sense? For that matter, if value="${'02'}" is working for
you, there's nothing wrong with it.
