HELP jsp:forward page = ""

[Sanz Joanne]

Just wondering i deveoping a shopping cart which uses a java bean. When the user goes to the Basket each item is fetched and displayed. The user can then delete each item. What i want is if there are no items left in the basket a message be displayed in the same page saying that the basket is empty. I've tried using
<jsp:forward page = "EmptyShoppingBasket.html"/>
instead so that it looks like that they are on the same page with the message displayed to them. But when i put this code in when the basket is empty i just get a completly blank page. I'd really appreciate if anyone could help me out with this problem.
Thanks a mill in advance,
Sanz
