scriptlets in html:option

I am trying to using a constants file while using the options tag in html library. I am not able to figure out the syntax.

I am saying

<html

ption value= "<%= Constants.STATUS_CD_DUP %>" >DUPLICATE</html

ption>

I have imported the neccessary class but I am having trouble with the syntax. Is there a better way to do this ? Thanks.

Ritu,
The syntax is correct. What error message do you get?

A better way to do this would be to put the names/values in a List and access that through the Struts tags.

When using scriptlets inside html:xxxx tags, it does make a difference which version you use. In some cases, I was unable to get them to work with Version 1.1, but version 1.2 is much better about this.

hi ritu

The syntax is very much fine and it works in all the versions starting from 1.0 version.let us know whats the error u r getting

I am actually getting a parser error. Let me try that once more and let you guys know. Thanks a lot for your help.

I had a closing tag missing and I thought that the syntax was wrong. But, good to know that I was right on the syntax. Thank you guys
