[jira] Commented: (STR-1195) [taglib] "multiple" attribute on select tag should not render when false

Paul Benedict commented on STR-1195:
------------------------------------

I think it's perfectly acceptable to pluck out one value for a special case. 99% backwards compatibility is good enough, imo.

> There is currently no value that can be passed to the "multiple" attribute of 
> the <html:select> tag that would indicate you want to render the component as a 
> single select - not even false.  This would be useful in the case where you 
> have a generic JSP that, depending on a value retrieved from some bean, may 
> render a single or multiple select.
> Maximum backwards compatibility could be achieved if the only value that would 
> render a single select is "false".  Chances are that nobody is currently using 
> the value "false" to render a multiple select.
