html:text tag

Question

Hi everybody,
I am new to Struts concept. I am trying to develop astruts application. I am writing one textbox on that I want call one javascript function for onchange event my html:text tag looks like the following:
<% int i=0; %>
     <logic:iterate id="ts" name="loginForm" property="timesheet">
     <td>
<% i+= ; %>
     <html:text property="worked_Hours" name="ts" onchange="findTotal(<%= i %>)"></html:text>
     </script>
     </td>
     </logic:iterate>
     </tr>
My intention in this code is I am creating the textbox control array. So I want to send that i variable value to that findTotal() javascript function. But the compiler instead of putting i value in the findTotal() function it is putting the code like this
<input type=text name="worked_hours" value="8" onchange="findTotal(%= i %>).
How can I get the value of i in the resultant jsp page.
Please reply me soon.
Thank you all,
Varma

When using custom tags, and specifying a dynamic attribute, always put <%= %> for the entire attribute
Try this:
<html:text property="worked_Hours" name="ts"
  onchange="<%= "findTotal(" + i + ")" %>" ></html:text>
