This is surely down to your IDE and not Struts. Eclipse with MyEclispe will create them XHTML compliant.

Here is what I mean. I have noticed that whenever an html component is generated using the html tags (or any other tag from the libraries), they are usually not closed. For example, when generating a form input field using: <html:text property="whatever"> the html code generated looks like: <input type="text" name="whatever" value=""> when it should really look like this: <input type="text" name="whatever" value="" /> (Notice the / to close the tag) This is a problem when you want to enforce a specific DOCTYPE to your web-application. The problem can easily be fixed... are struts developers thinking about this problem? It would be nice to have this addition to Struts 1.7 Aladin > The way I have done this is I have the following on all my pages: > > <body onLoad="hidePleaseWait();"> > <%@ include file="/inc/pleaseWait.inc" %> <span id="lyrMain" > style="display:none;"> > > pleaseWait.inc is the HTML for my Please Wait display.
