http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21347 Failure to use non-standard HTML properties with Struts custom tags Summary: Failure to use non-standard HTML properties with Struts custom tags Product: Struts Version: 1.1 Final Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Custom Tags AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Some web-applications are using non-standard HTML properties with form input elements, which is quite common (and convenient) practice. For example: <input type="text" name="firstName" value="Bob" required="true"> Here 'required' is non-standard attribute, never the less 'required' automatically becomes part of the DOM definition and can be examined (accessed) by JavaScript, for example for validation purposes. Changing above example to use of Struts tags would cause JSP compilation error: <html:text property="firstName" required="true"/> which makes it totally impossible to use not-standard HTML attributes. I suggest the following way to fix it: <html:text property="firstName">required="true"</html:text> In other words anything that is non-standard should be written into the tag body. Unfortunately, due the way Struts html field tags are implemented this suggestion would not work right now, because the tag body is getting ignored entirely. In order to fix it following class should be modified: org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BaseFieldTag 1) Writing of the HTML tag closing symbol should be moved from doStartTag() method to doEndTag() 2) In the doEndTag() method Body Content String should be written into page output (just before writing tag closing sysmbol) To fix this problem is crucial for our application, because we used to use not- standard HTML attributes quite widely (not only 'required', but also many others) and now we are having problem converting it to Struts. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
