Tapestry Enhancement Request.

["Elankath, Tarun (Cognizant)" <ET...@blr.cognizant.com>]

Hi list,

I propose a scheme where the standard components behave a bit more like the 'any' component. Example:
instead of <table><tbody><span jwcid="forEachCust"><tr>blahblah</tr></span></tbody></table>

whether we can have something like:
<table><tbody jwcid="forEachCust"><tr>blahlblah</tr></tbody></table>

The second is so much cleaner, it reduces the number of superfluous tags. This behaviour would be desirable for other components too. (It could be made optional through a formal parameter)

Ofcourse, I apologize if there is already a current way of doing this. (apart from writing a custom component)

Thanks,
Tarun

Many components already do this.  Foreach and ListEdit already do exactly
this.  Insert will render a <span> element if you supply any informal
parameters.  Have you been reading the Component Reference?
