[TRINIDAD] Proposal - fieldset/legend component
Would there be interest in a skinnable/ajaxified component that rendered
output using html fieldset/legend. We'd like to include this in our
applications and I'm keen to keep our users away from introducing other
component libraries just for the odd extra component.
I'm struggling to think of a nice sounding tag name, other than
tr:panelBoxAndLegend but it could look something like:
<tr:panelBoxAndLegend title="The legend">
...
</tr:panelBoxAndLegend>
Thanks,
Danny

We already have an example of convenience-attribute+facet
on column; there it's "header" and "headerText". So
perhaps the facet should be "caption" and the attribute
"captionText".

Re: [TRINIDAD] Proposal - fieldset/legend component
Posted by Matt Cooper <ma...@gmail.com>.
I like that name too. Should the text for it be "text" like on other
components or "caption"?
Regarding this example mentioned earlier:
<tr:panelFormLayout>
<tr:panelCaptionGroup caption="Personal Details">
<tr:inputText.../>
</tr:panelCaptionGroup>
</tr:panelFormLayout>
this could potentially be supported but without the lines drawn along the
sides. I'm thinking that when placed directly inside of a panelFormLayout,
it could have the simple separator lines (exactly like tr:group today) but
with the caption appearing on top of the upper separator line, e.g.:
label1 field1
-- Caption -----
label2 field2
label3 field3
----------------
label4 field4
and when outside of a panelFormLayout (as in your proposal) where you don't
have to play well with the table structure of the form layout, the
PanelCaptionGroupRenderer will use the normal fieldset elements.

Matt

Re: [TRINIDAD] Proposal - fieldset/legend component
Posted by Danny Robinson <da...@gmail.com>.
Yeah, I initially went with the enhanced panelFormLayout approach and
decided against it.
The name is also frustrating, so how about <tr:panelCaptionGroup ...>?
I'll give it 24hrs for other people to chime in, then I'll go with the
above.
Thanks,
Danny

Re: [TRINIDAD] Proposal - fieldset/legend component
Posted by Adam Winer <aw...@gmail.com>.
Yep, I agree that the Layout suffix shouldn't be there.
I'm wondering if we want a name more abstracted from
the HTML "fieldset" concept, though none really
come to mind.
Or, as a perhaps more radical suggestion, could this be
something embedded inside panelFormLayout? Like if
we supported "caption" on af:group?
<af:panelFormLayout>
<af:group caption="Personal Details">
<af:inputText.../>
</af:group>
</af:panelFormLayout>
This has some major disadvantages, though. It's probably
significantly harder to implement (more grunge in the
already grungy PanelFormLayout code) and no way to use it
outside of panelFormLayout. So I've probably just talked myself
out of this suggestion. :)

Hello Danny,
True, panelBox does not include the Layout suffix (a fact I somehow
forgotten / overlooked), so stripping the Layout suffix is fine with me. I
like the attribute shortcut for the legend as well.

Re: [TRINIDAD] Proposal - fieldset/legend component

I knocked together this component to see what it would look like and what
skin selectors would be required. Here's some tag examples and an attached
screenshot.
FWIW while Simon's name suggestion was better, I'm not fan of the 'Layout'
suffix, as it doesn't actually perform layout, and is therefore closer in
functionality to panelBox.
<tr:panelFieldsetLayout captionText="Personal Details">
<tr:panelFormLayout>
<tr:inputText label="First Name" />
<tr:inputText label="Middle Initial" columns="1"/>
<tr:inputText label="Family Name" />
<tr:selectOneChoice label="Suffix" />
</tr:panelFormLayout>
</tr:panelFieldsetLayout>
OR
<tr:panelFieldsetLayout
captionText="This shouldn't appear">
<f:facet name="caption">
<tr:icon name="error" />
</f:facet>
<tr:inputDate label="Date of Birth" />
</tr:panelFieldsetLayout>
Thoughts anyone,
D.

Hello Danny,
I would prefer something along the lines of tr:panelFieldSetLayout with a
legend facet.
