Using readonly textarea inside a Form component
Hello!
I am trying to use a read-only textarea component inside a form
component. When the form is submitted, I get this error:
org.apache.tapestry5.runtime.ComponentEventException: Failure writing
parameter 'value' of component xxx.textarea: Binding
org.apache.tapestry5.internal.services.AttributeExpansionBinding@ce988a
is read-only.
Is it possbible to mark the component itself as read-only? Setting
t:disabled="true" works but the textarea is rendered differently.
Regards
Stephan

This was my first try but it prevents the form from being submitted.

Or, if you really want the textarea to be readonly (vs disabled), just add
the readonly="readonly" attribute. This allows the user to set focus to it
and copy content from it but not change the content, and it doesn't get the
disabled appearance.

What if you use a plain html textarea with readonly attribute instead of a
div ?

For this I have to parse the text and convert it to HTML: Special
characters, newlines etc.

Hi
Maybe you can create a new component that displays your text in a div and
use a disable/invisible textfield.
So your field is secure, and you let the possibility for the user to
copy/paste the text.

Thanks for your reply. "disable" does more than changing the style:
Users are unable to interact with the text, like copying. I want the
users to be able to do this.

Hi
AFAIR Tapestry simply append 'disabled' in the generated markup. Using CSS
to stylize .disabled should to the trick.
