New to JSP. Can I do this?

[bravesplace]

I need to add an image to the top left hand corner of a webpage. If it
was HTML, then no problem.

<p><img src="imagename.gif"></p>

However, this is a .jsp page, and the only person who knows less about
JSP is the person asking me to do this. So my question is... How can I
do this?

Thanks for the time.

JSP is a way to create a servlet that will serve HTML.
JSP's have special ways to process your HTML template, but if you need
to do flat HTML, you can.

So, do it the same way.

Thanks for the reply. Just to verify, are you saying I can just add the
tag as I would with HTML. If so, that is great!! Thanks for taking the
time to reply.

That is correct. A well-written JSP will look almost
exactly like a normal HTML file, with the occasional
<% %> intrusion.

(This is a statement of opinion, but it's also The Truth.
If your JSP looks more like a Java program with occasional
HTML tags, you're doing it the hard way.)

Actually, a well-written JSP will look like XHTML with namespaced
action tags such as "<c:if test='${something}'>Something is
true</c:if>"

Actually, a well-written JSP would work - bug free - regardless of
whether you use scriptlets or tag libraries or EL. Nothing is wrong
with scriptlets.

Nothing is "wrong" with them, but they tend to be abused.
