JavaScript call using JSTL, not working

When creating a jsp page to call a javascritp passing in a dynamic value as follows, works in one place, but EXACT same code doesn't work in anohter.

Works -
CODE:
<select name="zoneList" onchange="document.forms[1].flat.value = document.forms[1].zoneList.options[document.forms[1].zoneList.options.selectedIndex].value; retrieveURL('lookupLookup.do?f=<c:out value='${f}'/>','addSnagForm','<c:out value='${f}'/>');" >

HTML GENERATED:
<select name="zoneList" onchange="document.forms[1].flat.value = document.forms[1].zoneList.options[document.forms[1].zoneList.options.selectedIndex].value; retrieveURL('lookupLookup.do?f=3','addSnagForm','3');" >


Broken -
CODE:
<td align="left"><html:text property="flat" size="25" maxlength="100" onblur="cryMonkey(); retrieveURL('lookupLookup.do?f=<c:out value='${f}'/>','addSnagForm','<c:out value='${f}'/>');"/></td>
