Re: Nested tag in attribute value

As you've discovered, embedding one tag in the attribute value of another tag is
"illegal" - even if you had gotten the quotes right ;-). You would need to do
something like:

<bean:define id="categoryId" name="category" property="id"/>
<mt:clink url='<%= "/categoryEvent.do?event=edit&id=" + id %>'>Edit</mt:clink>

I think. It's been awhile since I've been down that road...
