I looked into the taglib source a bit more, and I see your point. Assuming David is talking about overriding certain methods in the TableDecorator, as you pointed out, then there isn't any way to modify the contents of the <tr> or <td> tags.
If the startRow() method is overridden it provides the ability to wrap the <tr/> in another set of tags. I suppose this was added to provide some form of grouping support? I could imagine that a set of rows may belong in their own <tbody> tags? Or maybe the onFinishRow() could be overridden to provide a subtotal. Either way, there isn't any way to change the contents of the <tr> or <td> using a TableDecorator AFAICT. However, it would be a very easy change to add by providing another method in the TableDecorator class along with the "Cell" equivalent callbacks. > -----Original Message----- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > I'm not sure David's solution would work since, afaict, this would > output two <tr> tags, wouldn't it? > (There is a startRow() and an endRow() (or finishRow()) method in > TableDecorator which you can override, but i've never really understood > how it could be used) > > >>[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David G.
