Re: Can I insert a table into a struts form without changing the
template?
Michael, which version of struts? (assuming Struts 2 since you mention
templates, but want to be sure)

It only matters for the "xhtml" theme, and it's either what Wes and I
said, or a tiny little JSP-based custom tag if the <tr><td...> is really
bothersome.

It would be a nice feature to have as a struts tag to allow other tags
or HTML into the form without mucking about with the template.
Something like:
<s:embed>
<display:table id="results"
class="displaytag"
name="search-results"
requestURI="summary.action">
<display:column property="shortName"
title="Short Name"
sortable="true"
sortProperty="id"
headerClass="sortable"/>
<display:column property="projectManager"
title="Project Manager"
sortable="true"
sortProperty="projectManager"
headerClass="sortable"/>
</display:table>
</s:embed>

I don't think there is a really great way to do it. If you really want
to get a solid handle on it, look through
template/xhtml/controlheader*.ftl and template/xhtml/controlfooter*.ftl
do. To summarize it, they create a two-column row in the table :)
I think you can pretty easily add your element by doing - <tr><td
colspan="2">your stuff</td></tr>
But, if it doesn't work, just take a look at the generated HTML, it'll
probably be pretty obvious what you need to change.
If you are really looking to build something reusable, then try to build
a tag out of it. It's easier than it sounds. IMO, if this is for one
page, just add the HTML. If you are planning on making something like
this for each form in your app, then build a tag out of it.
