form-bean unavailable in javascript !!

Hi,

I use WL 8,Struts 1.1 and Win2000.
NOTE: onloading is equal to "onload" i did this it wasn't letting me post

<body onloading = "AskPrepopulation()">
.
.
.
</body>

function AskPrepopulation()
{
<logic:equal name="candidateForm" property="returningCandidate" value="true">
alert("You are Returning candidate !");
</logic:equal>
}

Now , this "candidateForm" works in the jsp page !!! but gives error in javascript.
When I try to load the page it gives erroneous page saying
"No bean found under attribute key candidateForm"

Any suggestions ?
thanks
