Do you know of a taglib that can build xml compliant elements and
attributes.
For example:
I have an image tag that I need to assign attributes to conditionally.
<img src="my.jpg" width="12" height="24"/>
The src, width and height are provided by data entered into the database.
If the width or height is empty I want to remove the width attribute or the
height attribute.
I can do this with jstl, now, as follows:
....
<c:set var="form" scope="page" value="requestScope.myStrutsForm"/>
<c:set var="imgString">
<img src="<c:out value="${form.image.src}" />"
<c:if test="${!empty form.image.width}">
width="<c:out value="${form.image.width}" />"
</c:if>
<c:if test="${!empty form.image.height}">
height="<c:out value="${form.image.height}" />"
</c:if>
/>
</c:set>
....
shweeeew! messy! My head is spinning and I hope I got all my quotes right
:-D
Now it would be nice to do something like:
<c:set var="form" scope="page" value="requestScope.myStrutsForm"/>
<c:set var="imgString">
<tag:element name="a">
<tag:attribute name="src" value="${form.image.src}"/>
<c:if test="${!empty form.image.width}">
<tag:attribute name="width" value="${form.image.width}"/>
</c:if>
<c:if test="${!empty form.image.height}">
<tag:attribute name="height" value="${form.image.height}"/>
</c:if>
</tag:element>
</c:set>
aaaaaaaaaaah! manageable.
So, do you know of any tags like these. Wouldn't this be nice for building
conditional markup on your page?
