Description Nitin Dahyabhai CLA 2011-04-13 16:05:51 EDT
Currently it is not possible through double-click to select part of a JSP attribute value, .e.g. the word "user" in the following tag:
<h:outputText value="#{req.user}">

The strategy in place is the same one for XML.  Ideally there would be a way to use the CSS strategy for the value of a style attribute, a JS strategy for event handler attributes, and one for EL in values that contain EL expressions.
