Set the color property of text for the given td based on the value fetched from the tabe.


You can use normal conditional statements to do this work though it would be better if you use JSTL tags to do conditional branching.

I can churn out alternatives only if you provide me with the code you have so far. What I presented in my previous post was a fairly easy thing to have done. If you are not able to achieve it, post the most recent code.

I would not recommend scriptlets but I don't think you care about it though...

Why not create a stylesheet class for each color?
.

Then just insert the correct classes when you put the values in the tables, either directly or through a script:
