Andy,   I wasn’t asking for implementation details.  I was looking for consensus.  Is there consensus that we should add mouse over under through functions?  I really see the need where I am currently implementing the tag, but I don’t want to be too narrow sighted…   Guys???       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Pruitt Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 6:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [displaytag-devel] on mouse over       I would like to see both onclick, onmouseover, and onmouseout added; for TR via a TableTag attribute and for TD via ColumnTag.    The attribute would not be output directly, but rather, taken as the name of a _javascript_ function that will be invoked. The function would pass the HTML element (this) that is being highlighted, and the value(s) of the cell(s).   So if a user says:  <display:table .. rowOnclick="chooseRow"> <display:column property="fname" cellOnmouseover="highlightColumn"/> the tag would output:  <tr 'the value of the property of the first column', 'the value of the property of the second column') ">        <td 'The Title', 'the value of the property or tableDecorator call' )" >   you can then write a nifty js function like:   // Submit the page when the user selects a row  -- ignores uninteresting parameters function chooseRow( selectedTR,  companyName, companyId ){     form.companyId.value = companyId;     form.submit(); }   var currentHighlighted = null; // highlight something useful function highlightColumn( selectedTD,  title, value){     setCurrentSomething(value);     if ( currentHighlighted != null ){    currentHighlighted.className = ''; }     selectedTd.className = 'highlighted';     currentHighlighted = selectedTD; }   Something like this would be very flexible.   -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Simpson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2003 8:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [displaytag-devel] on mouse over Guys,   I really love this tag.  I am beating the heck out of it at my current consulting gig and very proud of the work that Fabrizio has done.   As part of that, I see the need to make an onMouseOver attribute for the column tag.  Does anyone object?   Ben
