[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-826?page=comments#action_12460300 ] Jeff Bischoff commented on TOMAHAWK-826: ----------------------------------------
Yes it would require an extra outputLabel for each one, which is why I do think that your suggestion would be a more elegant solution for this use-case. As for it being up to me, I'm just a fellow user trying to be helpful and participate in the discussion with you. :) The best I can do is vote for the issue, and give you some tips on getting your idea accepted. One thing you will want to look at are the guidelines [3] for contributing patches. The more of the work we users do ourselves, the greater the chances of the component being given a shot. Plus, the devs are usually much more willing to apply patches when they are in the proper format (i.e. include a diff). As for sandbox components, basically they remain in the sandbox for testing and further development until they are stable enough and accepted to be promoted into Tomahawk. You can see the guidelines for these promotions here [4].

All it would have to do is to set a > specified CSS class (and/or CSS style) on a label component, if the field > referenced with the "for" attribute has an error. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
