[jira] Commented: (STR-1305) Add tag to output HTML label

["Ralf Hauser (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/STR-1305?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_42357 ] 

Ralf Hauser commented on STR-1305:
----------------------------------

a work-around already available with current tags (in particular if the "required" validator fails and thus the field is empty) is to use a 50% transparent backgound image.
This way, even if you have a input-"cell"-background color as "focus" style, you still can see if an empty fields is in error

see also: http://www.niallp.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/strutshighlight.html and http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/struts-dev/200306.mbox/%3C20030625134317.21964.qmail@web20711.mail.yahoo.com%3E

Furthermore, in presence of errors, the focus better is with an erroneous fields ==> see STR-3104

> It would be useful to have a tag that just writes a form's value.
> We already have one:
> <html:hidden property="foo" write="true" />
> The problem is that it generates a HTML INPUT in addittion to the text. That
> INPUT could interfere with the form's submission, and it adds bloat to the
> page.It would be nice to have a custom tag just to generate the form's text. 
> I know i could also expose the form as a bean (I guess it would be <bean:struts
> ... />). But that could tie the JSP to the form's name, and that's not a good think.
> Maybe the tag could be something like:
> <html:label property="foo" />
> And it would get property "foo" from the form and write it like a bean:write. It
> could be even:
> <html:label property="foo.x.y.z" />
