id for testing
I'm just starting to evaluate Tapestry, and I like what I see ;-)
I've got a question: For testing purposes (e.g. JWebUnit) I need some of my
HTML tags instrumented with id=".." to access them by name, but all the
jwcid=".." in the HTML template are consumed by Tapestry and do not appear in
the resulting HTML.
Is there a way to get some of the tags that are instrumented with the jwcid in
the HTML template to be instrumented with the same id (but now called id="..")
in the resulting HTML ? I plan to use only explicitly named components.
Thanks,
Martin

What I wanted to do is to "reuse" the names from the jwcid to have ONE single
id for a component (both for Tapestry and for testing) to save work, ease
maintenance and reduce clutter in the HTML template as much as possible.
If there is no other way, I will have to do it as you propose.
Thanks,
Martin

The anyformComponent.getName() should get you the name. Its the
form.getElementId() that can be called only once.

It's the same problem that occurs with FieldLabel and ValidField; the FieldLabel renders first,
before the ValidField gets it element id from the Form.
Hm.
Perhaps the way to defuse these problems is:
Let the FieldLabel (which in Western/latin languages, will typically be rendered FIRST before the
ValidField) invoke IForm.getElementId(). The ValidField can be connected to the FieldLabel and get
the elementId from it!
In non-Western/latin languages, such as Japanese, where the ValidField renders first and the
FieldLabel second, you don't make the connection ... and the ValidField does what it does today
(gets the elementId from the Form).

Is there a way to get the Tapestry generated name? I looked into this
a bit and it seems it is impossible for a field to get this name
without breaking something (i.e. that method can only be called one) -
right??
I would like to generate id="..." attributes on fields using their
name, and tie that id to HTML <label for="..."> attributes. The
<label> element is great for accessibility and such, and it would be
nice if Tapestry supported the capability of doing this somehow. It
would actually be nice if Tapestry had built-in facilities for putting
the id onto fields, and allowing other related components (like
FieldLabel) to retrieve it.
Thoughts?

Just put id="foo" into the HTML template. Virtually all components allow informal parameters, the id
you provide will carry through into the rendered HTML.
