verbose of jsp, standard tag library

[autogoor]

Hi,

I am writing jsp, suppose I have in my jsp:

<tr>
<td>
<c:if test="${param == 'good'}">
goodman
</c:if>
<c:if test="${param == 'bad'}">
badman
</c:if>
</td>
</tr>

The html generated is something like
<tr>
<td>

goodman

</td>
</tr>

This may cause peoblem for some browsers.

Without changing my jsp page, can I somehow (configure the
server?)generate the following html:
<tr>
<td>goodman</td>
</tr>

In what browser would that cause a problem? If you're doing crazy things with
tables and/or using them for layout (i.e. not using them the way they are
intended), possibly yes, but that sort of question should go to alt.html. If you
really do need to eliminate the blank lines, you'll have to eliminate them in
your source:
<td><c:if test="${param == 'good'}">goodman</c:if><c:if test="${param ==
'bad'}">badman</c:if></td>

Or write a Filter or some such to do so after the fact.
