error with the body of fmt:formatNumber

[Shashi Prakash]

HI,

Hi,


I checked api for fmt:formatNumber and found that we can use JSP in body..

but when I am trying to put anything in thr body of <fmt:formatNumber></fmt:formatNumber >

its throwing error with message that invalid body..

Can anyone help me with this.

[Christophe Verré]

Yes, JSP is allowed in the body of formatNumber. Can you send the exact error message, and the way you are using the tag ?

Hi ,

This is the line of the code without bodya dn its working fine..
<td nowrap class="tCellnum"><fmt:formatNumbervalue="${element.extra.dealLevelAmount}" pattern="###,###.##"></fmt:formatNumber></td>


but when I am putting boy in this tag..like

<td nowrap class="tCellnum"><fmt:formatNumbervalue="${element.extra.dealLevelAmount}" pattern="###,###.##">N/A</fmt:formatNumber></td>


I am gettign this error ---

Encountered illegal body of tag "fmt:formatNumber" tag, given its attributes.</p>

..Please help me with this.

[Christophe Verré]

N/A ?? Did you try with a number ? N/A is not a number.

[Shashi Prakash]

Yes , I tried with number also but I am getting same error.. One more thing I got on this is if I am removing value attribute from tag and putting anything in body its working fine..

I put like


<td nowrap class="tCellnum"><fmt:formatNumber pattern="###,###.##">100</fmt:formatNumber></td>

and it worked .. But If I am putting

<td nowrap class="tCellnum"><fmt:formatNumbervalue="${element.extra.dealLevelAmount}" pattern="###,###.##">100</fmt:formatNumber></td>

I am getting invalid body error( same error)...

[Shashi Prakash]

From the error "Encountered illegal body of tag "fmt:formatNumber" tag, given its attributes.</p>
"

it seems if we are putting "value" attribute then we can't put anything in body...as the error says illegal body of tag given its attribute .. but Ia have guessed this now sure..

[Christophe Verré]

Right, you cannot use both value and body content. You've got to choose one.
