Even better: <ww:textfield label="'label'" name="'name'"> <param name="description" value="'desc'"/> </ww:textfield>
We won't be adding any more fields (style, class, or description) to the UI tags before the 2.0 release -- but you are free to extend the UI widgets as you need. Alternatively, if the ww:param syntax is too much, you could always make your own taglib that extends TextfieldTag that adds the correct logic. -Pat -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Francisco Hernandez Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 1:45 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [OS-webwork] description field for ui controls if you dont want to modify the tag classes you could just use: <ww:set name="description" value="'description Text'" /> <ww:textfield label="'label'" name="'name'" /> and in the templates add: $stack.findValue("#description") its not as clean but it works.
