Question about Grid styles and paging for a simple HTML table
I am trying to use the Grid component to render an HTML table with
very specific CSS to make the table look like a table which is
currently being rendered with the displaytag library in a Struts2
application. Our current style sheet uses CSS selectors based on the
simple element name without any classes. This works well with
displaytag as it's default behavior is to output a simple table
without any CSS classes.
I am having two issues:
1) Applying styles.
My preference would like to simply apply our existing styles to an
HTML table created by Tapestry without having to wrestle with the
default styles in place. I looks like Tapestry's Grid component
specifies a total of 23 CSS attributes among its various styles for
the Grid and related components. I know we can override these
attributes in our stylesheets, but this puts a rather annoying burden
on our CSS developer. Another option would be to remove the default
tapestry stylesheet via application configuration, but this would have
negative side effects for other components such as the exception page.
Is there a way to have the Grid component not render any style
classes? Any other ideas would be appreciated.
2) Changing pager display

The lean parameter only affects the rendering of styles for the cells,
which is a start. The containing elements still contain styles.

RE: Question about Grid styles and paging for a simple HTML table

Take a look at the "lean" parameter in the grid docs:
http://tapestry.formos.com/nightly/tapestry5/tapestry-core/ref/org/apache/ta
pestry/corelib/components/Grid.html
Does that help?

This should be easier, but currently is not.
One option would be to subclass Grid as, say, PlainGrid.
You could then provide a PlainGrid.tml file and remove the @class
attributes that are in place there.

You could use pagerposition="none" and supply your own component to
perform the paging.

Re: Question about Grid styles and paging for a simple HTML table
Posted by Ben Tomasini <be...@gmail.com>.
Ooops, Hit enter too soon. Here is a resend
I am trying to use the Grid component to render an HTML table with
very specific CSS to make the table look like a table which is
currently being rendered with the displaytag library in a Struts2
application. Our current style sheet uses CSS selectors based on the
simple element name without any classes. This works well with
displaytag as it's default behavior is to output a simple table
without any CSS classes.
I am having two issues:
1) Applying styles.
My preference would like to simply apply our existing styles to an
HTML table created by Tapestry without having to wrestle with the
default styles in place. I looks like Tapestry's Grid component
specifies a total of 23 CSS attributes among its various styles for
the Grid and related components. I know we can override these
attributes in our stylesheets, but this puts a rather annoying burden
on our CSS developer. Another option would be to remove the default
tapestry stylesheet via application configuration, but this would have
negative side effects for other components such as the exception page.
Is there a way to have the Grid component not render any style
classes or to use style classes we specify? Any other ideas would be
appreciated.
2) Changing pager display
Is there a way to override the rendering of the pager, perahaps by
specifiying an alternate block to use?
With these in mind, am I better off not using the Grid component and
creating my own Table component instead?
