JSTL tag inside of aI function

[realfutbol23]

Hi, I have something along the lines of

aI("text=Edit Preferences; url=blahController.do?id="+<c:out value='${ACEGI_SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION.principal.applicationUser.applicationUserId}'/>+";");


for some reason, I cannot get the value of the tag to be displayed...does javascript not accept jstl tags in this method, because I've tried formatting the syntax, and just cannot seem to get it to work

Thanks

It's the extra " you have in there. The aI accepts only 2 - beginning and end. You can try either escaping those in the 'middle ( \ ), or use a single backquote ( ` ).

Did you try

<c:out value='aI("text=Edit Preferences; url=blahController.do?id=${ACEGI_SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION.principal.applicationUser.applicationUserId};")'/>

This should be equivalent to what you want and the syntax should be compatible with the menu syntax.
