HTML Form

[Durham David R Jr Contr 805 CSPTS/SCE <Da...@scott.af.mil>]

I recall reading something about the HTML tags not receiving any
developer attention and new project are encouraged not to use them.  My
question is what is the alternative to them?  JSTL?  Is there a guide or
wiki page regarding the issues of migrating from the HTML tags to
whatever the recommendation is at this point?

Thanks,

Dave

Its not true that the HTML tags are receiving no developer attention. Since
Version 1.2.4 was released the following changes have been made to the HTML
taglib:

1) Highlighting Error Fields
http://www.niallp.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/strutshighlight.html

2) ErrorTag now has header, footer, prefix and suffix attributes

3) Most of the HTML tags have been refactored to make them easier to extend.

4) A Bundle attribute has been added to many of the HTML tags

5) readonly and disabled attributes have been added to the FormTag - if you
want to disable or set to readonly all the elements in a form, you can do
this through the FormTag now, rather than on every individual field's tag.

Plus a number bug fixes have been applied, for example:

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32778
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34027
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32283
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23924
