Hi Ravi,
YUI doesn't require any specific tags. AFAIK, they're all plain old
valid html. It can't get much better than that.
ie. this is a TabView:
<div id="demo" class="yui-navset">
<ul class="yui-nav">
<li class="selected"><a href="#tab1"><em>Tab One Label</em></a></li>
<li><a href="#tab2"><em>Tab Two Label</em></a></li>
<li><a href="#tab3"><em>Tab Three Label</em></a></li>
</ul>
<div class="yui-content">
<div><p>Tab One Content</p></div>
<div><p>Tab Two Content</p></div>
<div><p>Tab Three Content</p></div>
</div>
</div>
It's instantiated with:
var myTabs = new YAHOO.widget.TabView("demo");
Which adds additional valid html markup to the DOM.
You can create a TagLib or Struts2 tags for commonly used widgets if you
like, as provided by the YUI plugin, but this doesn't add much value.
For instance, I've created a TabView tags like this:
<yui:tabview id="demo" selected="tab1">
<yui:tab id="tab1" label="Tab One Label">Tab One Content</yui:tab>
<yui:tab id="tab2" label="Tab Two Label">Tab Two Content</yui:tab>
<yui:tab id="tab3" label="Tab ThreeLabel">Tab Three Content</yui:tab>
</yui:tabview>
That renders the original HTML above. The value this adds over the
original HTML is dubious considering the effort it took to write the
custom-tag and the clarity of the original code. Writing custom tags
for the DataTable, TreeView, Charts etc are definitely not worth the
effort because the tags can't replicate the functionality of the API.
What exactly were you hoping for?
regards,

hi,
i want to use YUI library (http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/) with struts2.
The problem is that YUI requires YUI specific tags while struts generates
html tags. so, can we write themes(ftls etc similar to xhtml etc) which
would generate YUI tags instead of HTML? would this bring in new problems?
or did any one have tried this? YUI plugin is provided but its alpha version
and doesnt provide all components that we require.
any help?
