From the spec :
Specifies the format for the body of this tag.
The default in JSP 1.2 was "JSP" but because this
is an invalid setting for simple tag handlers, there
is no longer a default in JSP 2.0. A reasonable
default for simple tag handlers is "scriptless" if
the tag can have a body. Dishan, I don't know why you are posting all your messages twice, but you can delete at least one of them by clicking the "edit/delete post" icon
