HTML Tags and ID
Do the Struts tags allow the HTML id attribute to be set in its form taglibs? I was hoping to find an htmlId or id attribute but did not see one. Am I correct?
My goal was to accomplish this:
<html:checkbox name="enable" htmlId="enable" /><label for="enable"></label>
The <label> connects to an HTML ID, not a name.

Instad of switching tag libraries, I may want to add the attribute to the tag. It makes sense to me.

Re: HTML Tags and ID
Posted by Michael Jouravlev <jm...@gmail.com>.
Tag's "class" attribute conflicts with java.lang.Object.getClass(),
therefore it was renamed to styleClass along with styleID. These names
are aligned with HTML "style" attribute.
ID is a CSS selector, its other use like in the DOM tree is entirely
up to a developer.
There were opinions that java.lang.Object.getClass() is just a getter
while a tag needs a setter, so these methods do not conflict. On the
other hand, they do conflict if considered accessors of the same
property.
Anyway, I guess it is too late to change these names :)

Thanks everyone. That's what I was looking for. It's named badly, imo, because styling may use an id, but its main purpose is for the DOM tree.

Hi,
As Thomas Joseph mentioned, styleId is a the way to get 'id' in your
html document when you are using struts html tags. The value you set in
styleId will be set as id of the html element. All input elements that
can be represented by struts html tags has a attribute styleId and you
can use it to set the 'id' on the html element. I have used this
extensively for label id mapping. A single tag, which takes care of this
association, and generation of label would have been great.

Hi Paul, but I guess, what you want is styleId itself. This will be rendered as an HTML id attruibute.
http://struts.apache.org/1.2.9/userGuide/struts-html.html#checkbox
Although named style Id, this is the id what we use in DOM.

Re: HTML Tags for JComboBox
Posted by Paul Benedict <pa...@yahoo.com>.
Chetan,
Hmmm.. Usually when you want to use a combo box, you provide both the value and the label for each item. Struts has a class called LabelValueBean; use this to assign the value to each label. Then pass in the array/list of LabelValueBean into <html:options> or <html:optionsCollections>.
Struts cannot magically determine what values you want. So in this instance it is using the label as the value (and vice-versa) because that's all you specified. To get the index, do what I described above -- values cannot be guessed at; you have to supply them.
