t:selectManyCheckbox - Make Checkbox label a link

[fischman_98 <mf...@powerconsultantsinc.com>]

Anyone know how to make the itemLabel of a SelectItem a href?

I'd like to produce a checkbox that looks like this:




  	
    

      	
        
         COLUMBIA RIVER (WASHINGTON) 

        

        	
         SUN 

        

        	
         CLOUDS

Here is one solution:

Write a custom renderer. In that renderer, make a parent component with two
temporal child components. First child: select one checkbox. Second child:
output link.

On the rendering of the checkbox, record it's client ID in a variable. On
rendering of the output link, add a "javascript:
getElementById('"+checkboxId +"').value = !getElementById('"+checkboxId
+"').value;" as the URL of the link. This will toggle the value of the
checkbox.

Doing it as a custom component and a renderer you will have access to the
client ID of the checkbox. Another alternative is to use forceId and just
hand-code the output:

<script>
function toggleCheckbox(elemId)
{
var elem = document.getElementById(elemId)
elem.value = !elem.value
}
</script>
<t:selectBooleanCheckBox id="mycheckbox" forceId="true" .../>
<t:outputLink url="javascript: toggleCheckbox('mycheckbox')" />

There are other solutions and variations, but this should work for you.
Depends on how much work you want to do to make it nice. Sounds like a good
idea for a sandbox component to me (if only I had the time...)

Maybe you could work with Yasushi on this.

There have been a number of people asking how to do various things
(images, outputLinks, etc) inside f:selectItem.

Perhaps you could submit a patch to t:select* components that supports
a t:selectItem which could contain a component to use as a renderer?
Maybe as a facet or simply anything enclosed by t:selectItem?
