Proposal: textfield label auto creation
---------------------------------------
Key: STS-311
URL: http://mc4j.org/jira/browse/STS-311
Project: Stripes
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Tag Library
Affects Versions: Release 1.5
Environment: It's a common case that all textfield labels are created
in the same way (to keep a consistent look and feel).
Reporter: Ignacio Coloma
Assigned To: Tim Fennell
This proposal consists in defining a new attribute for the textfield tag,
autoLabel=true. If true, the textfield would create automatically a label
before itself. To customize this creation a LabelFactory interface would be
needed. Example:
* Config parameter for default automatic label creation (defines if the default
value would be true or false)
autolabel.default=false
* Default label factory:
autolabel.factoryClass=net.sourceforge.xxx.DefaultAutoLabelFactory
Example of use:
<stripes:text autoLabel="true" name="name"/>
HTML output:
<label for="name">Name translated</label>: <input type="text" name="name"/>
The label factory can be changed, for example if you are a usability freak, to
allow certain type of design with ease:

If you feel this interesting I can have a patch developed in about a week, test
case included. Only tell me because I need to know if I should develop a
separate custom tag or extend stripes. Of course thi is open to discussion (if
you feel a generic pattern like a decorator is more appropiate, or whatever)
