Thank you Jacques for interest,
Soon I will start a thread on dev list for the same probably in next few
hours.
Will list out all the tag where we need the id-name to handle. For sure dev
list is better place to discuss the improvements.

Hi Rishi,
Interesting idea, I think this should be better discussed on dev ML

Hi Ravindra,
>> <field id-name="existingNameId" name="existingName" title="Existing
Name"
widget-style="checkbox"><check></field>
>From your code reference it seems that you are using check box in the form
widget. The concept is like that, whenever you write any tag in the Form
Widget then the attributes it supports all attributes which are defined in
the widget-forms.xml, but accepting a tag for a particular field does not
mean that it will be taken care while the conversion in to the Html by the
HtmlFormRenderer.java. In the HtmlFormRenderer.java all the methods to
render all the tags which are supported by the Form-Widgets exists. In your
case the method is "renderCheckField", in this method there is no mechanism
to get the id-name and then convert it in to the id i.e Html equivalent.
There are two choices you have to get id for the check box.
1). Do not use form widget and use ftl where you can directly interact with
the check box.
2). Another way to enable form widget remaining field (in this case check
box) should get Id so that we can apply JS/Ajax on those fields as well.
Ravindra you can go with #1.
For the #2 I would refer we should have all the form-widget fields have
id-name attribute support so that we can ignore use of ftl as much as
possible, even in case of JS/Ajax functionalities. Would be good if we
(users) discuss and if agree then go for it.

Re: How to give id for a field in form widget
Posted by Ravindra Mandre <ra...@gmail.com>.
Thanks for reply Ruth,
Actually I am working in form widget and in form-widget's field tag there is
an attribute named "id-name" which is used to provide id for that field but
I am using <check/> tag after the field and also I provided id-name , but
not getting id for that field in firebug.
may the code help you for giving solution.
<field id-name="existingNameId" name="existingName" title="Existing Name"
widget-style="checkbox"><check>
</field>
In above when I inspecting "existingNameId" through firebug then it does not
show any id???
Thanks in advance

HTML styling doesn't work in the screen widgets because they are rendering platform agnostic.

Actually, if the second example works - I would think it should read
something like:
id="some_id {width: 120px}"

Hi Ravi:
How about:
<container id="some_id">
...
</container>
Is that what you mean by set default value?
Or do you want something like:
id="some_id: {width: 120px}"? Not sure if you can do this. Haven't tried.
