Thanks for the reply. There should definately be some sort of enhancment to the <s:text> tag. I found a more susinct solution with the <fmt:formatNumber> tag - it doesn't display the "null" text if the value is null. Anyone know if there is a request to add a "null" feature to <s:text>? The <s:date> tag handles "null" without displaying "null" text. Wonder why <s:text> is different? I can't think of many situations where the UI calls for displaying "null" when a value being displayed is in fact null.
