Thanks for your input, Christian.
That is definitely a feasible solution to the problem, I was just wondering if
there were a
skinning approach that could use the existing label.
If the only method available for repositioning the label / other attachments to
trinidad
components is to build them by hand, I guess my follow-up question would be:
How do I reconstruct
trinidad components by hand? In other words, I'd like to know how to translate
something like:
<tr:inputText label="Test" value="#{bean.testValue}" ... />
into more explicit markup like:
<tr:panelGroupLayout layout="horizontal">
...
<tr:inputText value="#{bean.testValue}" simple="true" />
...
</tr:panelGroupLayout>
of course it would be most useful to do this for all of the trinidad
components, since I might
want to reposition their messages, labels, error icons and required icons as
well.
Thanks,
