Erik van Oosten commented on WICKET-1878: ----------------------------------------- Proposed solution: Won't fix. Wicket should stay clean and mean. Adding these kinds of options all over the place won't help achive this goal. Here is a custom component that reaches the comitters goal with a custom component. public abstract class TitledLink extends Link { public TitledLink(String id, String title) { this(id, new Model<String>(title)); } public TitledLink(String id, IModel<String> titleModel) { super(id); add(new AttributeModifier("title", true, titleModel)); } } > ExternalLink should have title field > ------------------------------------ > > Key: WICKET-1878 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-1878 > Project: Wicket > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: wicket > Affects Versions: 1.3.4, 1.4-M3 > Reporter: Steve Swinsburg > > The ExternalLink component should either by default have a title field, or > have another constructor that takes the title as a paremeter. Currently this > is only achieved by using AttributeAppender and setting the title attribute > onto the link. > eg current: > ExternalLink emailLink = new ExternalLink("mailToLink",new Model("mailto:" + > emailAddress),new Model(emailAddress)); > emailLink.add(new AttributeAppender("title", new Model(emailAddress), " ")); > I propose the following constructor: > ExternalLink(java.lang.String id, java.lang.String href, java.lang.String > label, java.lang.String title) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
