It occurred to me to use an OGNL form to do this, but I am still having a 
challenge getting it to work. 

I've tried 

<s:textfield key="fieldName" dojoType="dijit.form.ValidationTextBox" 
promptMessage="${getText('fieldPrompt)}" /> 

This gets me past the first problem, but still doesn't work. I am getting 
message that getText must have a prefix in the default namespace. I'm not sure 
where to take it from there. 

Any suggestions?

Subject: i18n within dojo attribute 

I have a text field which I would like to 'dojo-ize' by turning it into a 
ValidationTextBox. 

One of the parameters, 'promptMessage' is a text message that is put up as a 
help when the focus enters the text box. 

My problem is that I would like to internationalize this message. My thought 
was to place a struts2 text tag as the value of this attribute. 

However, placing the tag inside the attribute quotes quotes the tag. Here is 
what I did: 

<s:textfield key="fieldName" dojoType="dijit.form.ValidationTextBox" 
promptMessage="Enter field value" /> 

This works, but the message is in English. To internationalize it, I tried 
this: 

<s:textfield key="fieldName" dojoType="dijit.form.ValidationTextBox" 
promptMessage="<s:text name='fieldPrompt' />" /> 

But this quotes the angle brackets and the result is: 

.... promptMessage="&lt;s:text name='username' /&gt;" 

I've tried a couple of other variations that do not work either. Any 
suggestions as to how I might do this?
