Re: IE6/IE7 Form rendering problems
Hi,
The simplest way to implement this would be to subclass the TextArea
class and override the render method.
@Override
public void render(HtmlStringBuffer buffer) {
buffer.append("<span>");
super.render(buffer);
buffer.append("</span>");
}

Re: IE6/IE7 Form rendering problems

You could also create a "wrapper" field that renders a <div> tag.
(extend from AbstractContainerField) Then add wrapper field to form
and field to wrapper.
