[jira] Created: (WW-3209) Select components do not allow setting attributes and JavaScript events on 

Select components do not allow setting attributes and JavaScript events on <option /> tags
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: WW-3209
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-3209
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Other
    Affects Versions: 2.1.7
            Reporter: Tim Stavenger
            Priority: Minor


The combobox, select, optiontransferselect  and any other tag that uses the <option /> or <optgroup /> tags do not allow you to set any additional attributes or JavaScript events besides the value posted back to the server and the value displayed to the user.

I had a scenario where the client wanted a hover to appear for each option in a multi-select component. I could have used the title attribute or the onchange/onclick events of <option />, but couldn't because Struts didn't support them (at least without modifying Struts). I ended up with a different implementation that listened for onchange and onclick events for the <select /> tag. It works, but isn't exactly what the user wanted. I could also have just manually used the <select> and <option> tag, but would have lost everything else Struts provides.

See http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_optgroup.asp and http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_option.asp for the available attributes and events.

[jira] Updated: (WW-3209) Select components do not allow setting attributes and JavaScript events on

Wes Wannemacher updated WW-3209:
--------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 2.1.9

Although we don't make strict w3c compliance a goal, I think this would be useful and fairly easy to implement. I'd like to see this in the next release (not enough time to make it happen for 2.1.8)
