My first idea is to use JSTL. The Struts designers recommend using the
standard taglib anywhere that the functionality overlaps. In JSTL, that
iterate would be:

<c:forEach var="forums" items="${forumList}">
<tr><td colspan=2>
<c:out value="${forums.forumName}" /> 
</td></tr>
</c:forEach>

My next idea would be to add a close tag for that font tag, followed
immediately by removing the font tag and b tag since they're deprecated. But
this isn't an HTML forum. Other than that I can't help you much. I don't use
logic:iterate for the reason I mentioned above.

...not to mention the redundant tag.

I think that it is a good idea to remove the lot.

Sudsy commented on the tag and the OP
responded to the effect 'tried it - did not work'
but that left me wonderring if they had given
it proper nesting (given the tag as well)
and if incorrect parsing of the HTML might
contribute to the wider problem.

So _my_ recommendation ot the OP is..
see it fail as

.....
<tr><td colspan=2>
<c:out value="${forums.forumName}" />
</td></tr>
.....

Before you do anything else.

That test should hopefuly rule out the HTML
tags as contributing to it.

The effects can the OP wants can be attained
using stylesheets and the EXACT code above..

Check here for further details..

Wonderful things.
