I am trying to use ognl/getText to assign a placeholder attribute for a s:textfield. I can not seem to get it to work. I am using struts 2.2.3.
e.g. <s:textfield dojoType="dijit.form.ValidationTextBox" theme="simple" placeholder="%{getText('placeHolder.Username')}" id="j_username" name="j_username" cssStyle="width:180px" /> My hunch is that the placeholder field is not being evaluated . I am using dojo with struts2 and would like to add placeholder attributes where necessary. I don't want to use a s:text variable. That is kinda clumsy and a I may have to do add a lot of placeholder attributes. I know this a HTML5 feature but dojo has an implementation for non HTML5 browsers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Steve
