[jira] [Commented] (WW-3908) FreeMarker textfield tag doesn't allow the new HTML5 required attribute

["Roland McIntosh (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-3908?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13764305#comment-13764305 ] 

Roland McIntosh commented on WW-3908:
-------------------------------------

I wish I had noticed this issue to weigh-in.

I don't see how _keeping_ the attribute name as "required" precludes html5 usage -- this could be handled in the tag theme, which seems like a more appropriate place to make a change for output.  For example, "text.ftl" could have a section like this:
{code}
 <#if parameters.required?default(false)>
  required="required"<#rt/>
 </#if>
{code}

> It is impossible to use the new HTML5 *required* attribute with the *textfield* tag currently available in FreeMarker. Other HTML5 attributes seem to work as expected.
> => For example, I want to use the new *required* attribute in order to have the following very simple HTML code :
> {code:html}
> <input type="text" required="required" id="test-X">
> {code}
> => I have tried to use the following code in a classic FTL file :
> {code:title=test.ftl|borderStyle=solid}
> <@s.textfield required="required" id="test-1"/>
> <@s.textfield required="true" id="test-2"/>
> <@s.textfield required=required id="test-3"/>
> <@s.textfield required=true id="test-4"/>
> {code}
> The HTML result is always :
> {code:html}
> <input type="text" id="test-X">
> {code}
