Thanks, but no again.
form.recordError(commonNameField, "The ip address you entered is public and in use - please try again or search for it ${" + link.toAbsoluteURI() + "}" ); renders this as a string, and without the expansion-y ${} it's just plain old text. ${http://hplaptop:8080/MetwideSubnetsWeb/search/ipaddress} Similarly putting an <a href=\" + Link#toAbsoluteURI + \">blah</a> just outputs text, like this: <a href="${http://hplaptop:8080/MetwideSubnetsWeb/search/ipaddress}"> blah</a> (I've copy pasted html src. In case it's not viewable, tapestry has converted the less than and greater than in the previous sentence to ampersand+elle+tee+semi-colon and ampersand+gee+tee+semi-colon, respectively) Form#recordError accepts a String. So I'm starting to think this String is just rendered without any smarts to it. Can't really fuse in a MarkupWriter, because recordError just accepts String. Any further ideas? Can the Corelib.Errors component, rather than just being <t:errors /> be expanded to hold a <t:if> and ${expansion} for use in case of error?
