[jira] Created: (WW-2269) Form tags : addition of shortdescription
and longdescription attributes
Form tags : addition of shortdescription and longdescription attributes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WW-2269
URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2269
Project: Struts 2
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Sami Dalouche
Motivation: When you create a form, either you have plenty of space and you put all the labels / controls linearly (label, <br /> input <br /> label2 <br /> input2 .....), or you have too much information and you have to make efficient use of the space.
The default taglib easily allows linear forms, but creating forms where you have data on the left, right and bottom/top of the input is much harder.
Wish: So, it would be nice to have, by default, two additional attributes in all form elements : shortdescription and longdescription, for instance. For instance, the shortdescription could be displayed on the same line as the control itself, and the longdescription as a block after/before the control.
The implementation I currently use displays the short description on the same line, and the long description after the control :
<#if parameters.wwinfo?exists><div class="${parameters.wwinfoCssClass?default("wwinfo")}"><label for="${parameters.id}">${parameters.wwinfo}</label></div></#if>
<#if parameters.wwdescription?exists>
<div class="wwdescription">
<label for="${parameters.id}">${parameters.wwdescription}</label>
</div>
</#if>
<#-- Add the stupid clear hack because of the float'ed divs -->
<div class="clearhack"></div>
