How is it possible to include in the procedure part of HTML ?

Question

Hi,
how is it possible to include in the procedure HTML tags?
Such description give error message:
<%public void statt()%{%>
<option value="US">United States</option>
<option value="AF">Afghanistan</option>
<option value="AL">Albania</option>
<%}%>
This procedure is used to avoid many times to write the same HTML part.
What is wrong?
Best Regards,

I understance what you are trying to do, but you are doing it poorly... you could do something like that if you passed the JSPWriter as an argument to the method, then used ou.print("<option ..."); instead of just doing what you are doing...
But there is probably a better way... Just make a real short html page, like this:
<select name="country">
  <option value="US">United States</option>
  <option value="AF">Afghanistan</option>
  <option value="AL">Albania</option>
</select>And name it like... countryList.htm.
Then, in your JSP, do something like:
<jsp:include page="countryList.html"/> wherever you want the list to go...
