images in html buttons

2003-03-20 Thread Wayne A Christian
Within the body of a standard HTML button tag, I can place HTML, such as the img 
tag and this will get rendered
as the button image.  With struts html:button tag, this doesn't work and I get the 
raw text rendered as the button text.
Is there a way around this other than going to image maps which don't work the same 
way as buttons do?

wizards within wizards

2003-03-20 Thread Wayne A Christian
Within struts, are wizards just a progression of actions/actionforms?  Is there a 
framework for building wizards
or does everyone just do their own thing?

I've got a situation where I have multiple wizards and many of them may be invoked 
from other wizards,
creating a cascade of wizards.  What I mean is that while completing wizard A, one may 
be able to branch
to wizard B, etc.  When completing the last wizard, I need to be able to make sure 
that I go back to which ever
wizard the last one was launched from.  This means that the action mapping (forward 
map???) is not fixed,
but programmatically variable.  Please don't ding me on design principles here, this 
is a customer requirement,
since we're trying to integrate with another product that does this and their users 
are used to being able to do this.
Am I on my own as far as making this work, or is there some sort of struts mechanism 
to do this???

Wendy,
  So you use the style sheets as a way to attach the image to the button?

Not sure if html:button works the same as html:submit but I have the
same problem with submit buttons.  My workaround involves JavaScript:

script
function setUserAction(target) {document.forms[0].userAction.value=target;}
/script

html-el:hidden property=userAction value=error/

html-el:submit property=submit  onclick=setUserAction('Add Prospect');
styleClass=addButton titleKey=button.add.prospect value= /

Setting the 'value' to several spaces (otherwise Netscape buttons are
squished) means you can't tell which button was clicked, so the javascript
sets that userAction property, and that's the one that the
LookupDispatchAction uses to decide what to do next.

RE: struts-config.xml

2003-03-20 Thread Wayne A Christian
If you're using struts 1.1, probably you can modularize the struts config.
Each module has its own xml file.  The modules can be broken down 
by developer groups/functions

Subject: struts-config.xml

I am curious as to how others are working with the
struts-config.xml file.  I am working on a large
project with a team of 8 other developers.  So far we
have over 200 actions.  The struts-config.xml is
becoming a bottle neck, because each developer needs
to update the file at the same with entries into this
file.  Does anyone have any ideas as to how to make
working with this file any easier?  Thanks in advance.
