Add a prependId property on s:decorate
--------------------------------------
Key: JBSEAM-4776
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-4776
Project: Seam
Issue Type: Bug
Components: JSF Controls
Affects Versions: 2.0.1.GA
Environment: JBoss Seam 2.0.1GA
Reporter: Anthony O.
Given the following code:
<h:form id="login" prependId="false">
<s:validateAll>
<f:facet name="afterInvalidField">
<s:label styleClass="error">
<s:message/>
</s:label>
</f:facet>
<div class="labelinputcombo ilcblock">
<h:outputLabel for="username">User name:</h:outputLabel>
<s:decorate>
<h:inputText id="username"
value="#{registrationService.newUser.userName}" required="true"/>
</s:decorate>
</div>
</s:validateAll>
<div>
<h:commandButton value="Register"
action="#{registrationService.registerUser}"/>
</div>
</h:form>
One would expect that none of the generated <input> elements would have
prepended IDs, since the h:form has prependId="false". However, since
s:decorate insists on inserting a superfluous <div> with a generated ID around
the <input> elements it surrounds, those <input> elements end up having
prepended IDs from that <div>. The relevant generated HTML:
<div class="labelinputcombo ilcblock">
<label for="j_id31:username">User name:</label><div id="j_id31"><input
id="j_id31:username" type="text" name="j_id31:username" /></div>
</div>
I did not ask for either the <div> or it's ID (<div id="j_id31">), or its
insertion into my <input> element's ID (id="j_id31:username").
Proposed solutions:
1. Remove the generated <div>. Is it really necessary for the functionality of
s:decorate? If I want a div I can always add it myself.
2. If the <div> really is necessary, at least make s:decorate respect the
prependId="false" attribute of the surrounding h:form.
3. If that is not possible, as a last resort, introduce a prependId attribute
on the <s:decorate> tag so we can at least force this behaviour if we want it.
On a more general note,
I'm a really big fan of the JSF-Seam-EJB3 combo, but some of the design
decisions in the frameworks are baffling. Why so many superfluous generated
html tags? And who thought of the bright idea of prepending element id
attributes using : (colon) as the delimeter?? This effectively cripples the
ability to use CSS to style JSF-generated HTML elements with a simple CSS id
selector (since : is a reserved symbol in CSS).
