How about dynamic attributes for Struts HTML tags, so attributes that we have no semantics defined for just slide on down into the HTML? Similar to the above, no need to add a new attribute each time (but no child tags -- too verbose, don't really like the findAncestorWithClass() business either). And how about a complete rewrite, and JSP 2.0 ready tags that allow composition? A html2 of sorts, maybe a different prefix to avoid confusion with what Hubert has. I'm keen on the composition bit and thereby the rewrite, but not enough cycles to do it alone ;-( Background [1]. -Rahul [1] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=113243074300001&r=1&w=2 > I agree that only HTML attributes should be supported, but we should > also allow people to pass in other attributes in a way that we don't > have to support.
