Frank W. Zammetti commented on STR-3006:
----------------------------------------
I understand what your saying Niall... I just have to think that if the
documentation is clear, you've done about all you can, and if a developer makes
a mistake... well, at some point that has to fall in the category of their
problem. I think a framework can (and should) only think for you to a certain
extent :)
Ah well, no sense beating a dead horse here... we all seem to be saying this
<html:attribute> tag is a good idea, and I think that addresses the concerns of
all parties. I think there's even some interest in realizing it in 1.4... I
'll get by my current situation by subclassing I think, but the new tag gives a
more general solution, which is what I was trying to provide, so that sounds
good long-term.

> Key: STR-3006
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/STR-3006
> Project: Struts 1
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Taglibs
> Affects Versions: 1.0 Final, 1.0.1, 1.0.1 Final, 1.0.2, 1.1.1, 1.2.2,
> 1.2.4, 1.2.6 Beta, 1.2.7, 1.2.8, 1.2.9, 1.3.5, 1.3.6, 1.3.7, 1.4.0

> There is a known issue with IE7 and the plain <select> input element... let's
> say for example you have this:
> <html>
> <head>
> <title></title>
> </head>
> <body>
> <select onFocus="this.style.backgroundColor='#ff0000';">
> <option value="1">1</option>
> <option value="2">2</option>
> </select>
> </body>
> </html>
> In IE7, when you click on the dropdown arrow, the list of items will not
> immediately show up, you need to click it twice. This is due to the onFocus
> handler being attached. This is a known issue with IE. The solution is to
> simply add an onFocusIn handler which (usually) mimics the onFocus handler.
> However, in Struts 1, because the HTML taglib does not allow arbitrary
> attributes (something I believe it should, and I said as much on a BugZilla
> ticket which I can't seem to find in JIRA now, and along with it I suggested
> adding a strictHTML attribute, which would default to true, to allow (false)
> or disallow (true) arbitrary attributes), you cannot properly deal with this
> issue at present if you use the HTML taglib.
> Attached please find two updated files, BaseHandlerTag.java and
> struts-html.tld, which adds support for the onfocusin attribute.
> I marked this as Minor, but for those of us dealing with this issue right
> now, it's more like a Major :) I also consider it a bug since I don't see
> any viable work-around (someone can correct me if I'm wrong... and yes, not
> using the HTML taglib is I suppose a valid answer, but I'd be looking for
> something else)
