Re: Dynamically generating an img tag

Or use a WebMarkupContainer and an AttributeModifier.  Wrap this in your own
class so you're not writing HTML in your Java code.  Then your links are
actually in your HTML (except the SRC which gets generated in code) and your
designers can stylize the links etc.  Much better IMHO.

Something like:
 public class MyLink extends WebMarkupContainer {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public MyLink(String id, IModelString model) {
super(id);
add(new AttributeModifier(src, true, model));
}
}
In your HTML:
a href=# class=yourClass wicket:id=yourIDyour text/a

It doesn't abuse Label this way, and is much more in line with the standard
Wicket way.

 Hi Cristina,

  Java:
 
  // prefix and sufix hold the start and end of the img tag
  String imgTag = prefix + getImgURL() + sufix;
  add(new Label(imgDisplay, imgTag));

 try:

 add(new Label(imgDisplay, imgTag).setEscapeModelStrings(false));

 Best regards, --- Jan.

Thanks Jeremy, Jonathan and Jan.

Jan, I've tried your suggestion and it works as expected... :-) Still,
Jeremy is right when he defends a cleaner solution. I'll try his suggestion
as well.

The Wicket API for Google Charts seems very interesting, Jonathan. I'm
already using charts4j to encode the chart... It's an interesting project,
too. Please see:

Best regards,

Cristina

Dynamically generating an img tag

2008-12-27 Thread Cristina 

Hi,

I'm trying to generate an img tag pointing to a Google chart at
http://chart.apis.google.com/. I'm getting the chart URL as a string and I
need to generate the img tag in order to display it as an image.

I'm trying to use a Label, like:

HTML:

div wicket:id=imgDisplayimg tag goes here/div

Java:

// prefix and sufix hold the start and end of the img tag
String imgTag = prefix + getImgURL() + sufix;
add(new Label(imgDisplay, imgTag));

Problem is,   and  are not interpreted as markup delimiters, but as
normal characters, so all I've got is the URL displayed as a literal where
the image should be displayed.

Is there a simple way to do something like this?

Thanks so much,

Cristina
