Use JSTL forEach loop's varStatus as an ID

The variable set by varStatus is a LoopTagStatus object, not an int. Use:

<div id="divIDNo${theCount.index}">

To clarify:

${theCount.index} starts counting at 0 unless you've set the begin attribute
${theCount.count} starts counting at 1

java jsp jstl el

you'd use any of these:

JSTL c:forEach varStatus properties
