Tag's "class" attribute conflicts with java.lang.Object.getClass(), therefore it was renamed to styleClass along with styleID. These names are aligned with HTML "style" attribute.
ID is a CSS selector, its other use like in the DOM tree is entirely up to a developer. There were opinions that java.lang.Object.getClass() is just a getter while a tag needs a setter, so these methods do not conflict. On the other hand, they do conflict if considered accessors of the same property. Anyway, I guess it is too late to change these names :) On 7/24/06, Paul Benedict <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Thanks everyone. That's what I was looking for. It's named badly, imo, because styling may use an id, but its main purpose is for the DOM tree. vijay venkataraman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, As Thomas Joseph mentioned, styleId is a the way to get 'id' in your html document when you are using struts html tags. The value you set in styleId will be set as id of the html element. All input elements that can be represented by struts html tags has a attribute styleId and you can use it to set the 'id' on the html element. I have used this extensively for label id mapping. A single tag, which takes care of this association, and generation of label would have been great.

This is not a style, but a DOM element ID. That's what the connects to. It's a really cool thing: if you connect a label to a checkbox, you can actually check and uncheck the box by clicking on the label -- just like good old thick-client programs :) > > Wendy Smoak wrote: On 7/23/06, Paul Benedict > wrote: > > > Do the Struts tags allow the HTML id attribute to be set in its form taglibs?
