RE: Feature wanted: autocomplete attribute for html:text/form
tag s
Tomasz,
If you need to output additional attributes, you don't use Struts to write
that particular tag. You are not forced to use Strut's <html:*> tags.
Consider vanilla HTML -- the good ol' days -- and use EL to get what you
want from Struts.

Hmm ;), really?
Of course I've implemented sth like Google Suggest, and I need to turn
the autocomplete feature of the browser off... like the GoogleSuggest does.
Otherwise you'll end with two combos going down, and this is ugly and
distracting having to things that "complete" words.
Problem is I don't know (can't) how to achieve:
<input type="text" autocomplete="off"...
using Struts' <html:text ..
Is it clear now?
Regards,
Tomasz Nazar

Since Struts 1.2.5 the html tags have had some re-factoring that makes it
easier to create your own custom version. All you need to do is extend the
TextTag, add appropriate getter/setter methods for a new "autocomplete"
property and override the prepareOtherAttributes() method to output your
additional attribute:
protected void prepareOtherAttributes(StringBuffer handlers) {
prepareAttribute(handlers, "autocomplete", getAutocomplete());
}
You will also either need to modify the struts tld to point to your custom
tag and add your additional attribute - or create your own tld for the
custom tag.
Bug 1598 talked about adding the kind of facility you mention, but no-ones
done anything about it and there are other bug tickets which are related:

That's the way it works now. But, you know I like my work to be
"consistent".
I even don't like to use <%= .. %>. I treat Struts as a high level web
framework and every exception (like "autocomplete") just isn't right..
Anyway.. are there any efforts to introduce "options" or
"autocomplete" attributes to those tags like T. Husted suggested?
