localization of onblur

[Mark Gordon <ma...@mcgordon.com>]

Hello,

I am new to struts and loving it.  Thanks to all involved.

My question relates to localization of java script.  How would go you 
about getting the "ENTER THE CODE" noted below to come from the resource 
file?

Thanks in advance.

-Mark

PS  I hope this isn't a stupid question.


<html:form action="/te/location" focus="code" method="get">
<table border="0" width="100%">

  <tr>
    <th align="right" class="formLabel">
      <bean:message key="location.prompt.code"/>
    </th>
    <td align="left" class="formField">
      <html:text property="code" size="6" maxlength="6" 
onblur="window.status=('ENTER THE CODE')" styleClass="formField"/>
    </td>
  </tr>

Mark,
    This certainly does not seem like an optimal solution as it may require
some manual effort in the JS to duplicate some stuff from the appResources
file, but something like this should work, or you could get more complex and
add you own custom attribute to the taglib, or you could create a JS array
from the appResources file with the values you need for that page and pass
those in to a JS function:

<script language="JavaScript">
function statusLocal(someKey){
    if (someKey=="ENTER THE CODE"){
        window.status=("<bean:message key="your.key"/>")
    }
}
</script>

<html:text property="code" size="6" maxlength="6" onblur="statusLocal('ENTER
THE CODE')" styleClass="formField"/>


Hope this helps,

No, it's not a stupid question. :-)

Unfortunately, I don't know of a good answer, either. The best I've been
able to come up with in a similar situation is resorting to an HTML tag so
that I can use a <bean:message> inside it. In your case, this would look
something like:

    <input type="text"
        onblur="window.status=('<bean:message key="your.key"/>')"
        ...>

This is pretty nasty, and doesn't allow you to make use of the Struts HTML
taglib properly. I'm hoping that we can improve this situation somewhat in
Struts 1.1.
