--------------------------------------------------------------------- View the issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DISPL-69 Here is an overview of the issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: DISPL-69 Summary: option to strip html before sort Type: Improvement Status: Unassigned Priority: Critical Original Estimate: Unknown Time Spent: Unknown Remaining: Unknown Project: DisplayTag Components: Tag Library Versions: 1.0 RC2 Assignee: Reporter: Dan Allen Created: Mon, 18 Oct 2004 11:29 AM Updated: Mon, 18 Oct 2004 11:29 AM Description: Often times it is necessary to allow for a conditional use of the href attribute on a column (creating a link, or not creating a link, based on the contents of the column). However, if the link is created manually inside the contents of the column tag (as opposed to using the href attribute on the column) the sorting functionality is affected because it now includes the html markup in the value of each column. Example: <display:column property="id" sortable="true"> <c:if test="${not empty row.id}"><html:link action="ViewItem?id=${row.id}"><c:out value="${row.name}"/></c:if> <c:if test="${empty row.id}">[empty]</c:if> </display:column> Output: <a href="/app/ViewItem?id=6">Mountain Bike</a> [empty] <a href="/app/ViewItem?id=3">Canoe</a> <a href="/app/ViewItem?id=8">Tent</a> [empty] The problem with the above code is that the sort will actually occur on the value of the id rather than the name. However, since the end user sees a name in the column, that person would expect it to be sorting on name. Under no circumstance would a sort on the url be desirable. --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
