[Nag Venkat]

Hi,

i need to set the value in fmt:FormatNumber dynamically from jquery.

<div id="total">
<fmt:formatNumber value='${totalValue}' type="currency" maxFractionDigits="2" minFractionDigits="2"/>
</div>

i have tried this

$('#total').find('fmt\\:formatNumber').attr('value', 'newValue');

and this is not working for me..can you people get me out of this.

What you are trying to do is impossible.

The JSTL tag runs on the server to crete the HTML page to send to the browser. At the browser, JavaScript is interpreted and executed. So you cannot expect the server-side tag to be able to interact with the client-side JavaScript.

Please read this article to understand the basic operations of JSP.
