Change AbstractLink (and its subclasses) to optionally surround rendered text
with a tag (e.g. span) when disabled
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TAP5-1400
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-1400
Project: Tapestry 5
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: tapestry-core
Reporter: nillehammer
Priority: Minor
I frequently use Tapetry's Link components (PageLink, EventLink, ActionLink) to
build up vertical menus. I like to style the rendered a-Tags with
"display:block" by assigning an appropriate css-Class. This expands the area
where the link is clickeable and makes a line break after the rendered link.
The latter spares me from surrounding the a-Tags with an additional div. When
using the disabled-Parameter of the Link compontents the text in the body is
rendered as is, leaving me without any tags to apply styles to. So to ensure
the line break I would have to insert tags myself into the template.
I was wondering, if it were possible to add an optional parameter to the Link
compontents to make them render a tag around the text and apply the informal
parameters "style" and "class" to them. I can think of a boolean value or a
String value
/**
* When set to true, this parameter causes Link to render a a span-Tag around
the text that is rendered when link is disabled. When set to false (default),
the text will be rendered as is.
**/
@Parameter(defaultPrefix = BindingConstants.LITERAL, required = false,
allowNull = true)
private boolean renderSpan;
Or second alternative
/**
* When set to a non null value, the provided string will be used as a tag
that is rendered around the text that is rendered when link is disabled. When
set to null (default) or empty String, the text will be rendered as is.
**/
@Parameter(defaultPrefix = BindingConstants.LITERAL, required = false,
allowNull = true)
private String disabledTag;
This way the change would be backwards compatible.
