Re: How to set autocomplete attribute in html:form
Hi! There's a lot of information available on the Internet. A good place to start is http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2EE/AJAX/ and there's a lot of links other people have found at the social bookmarking website del.icio.us, http://del.icio.us/tag/ajax and http://del.icio.us/tag/xmlhttprequest Frank Zammetti's article on XmlHttpRequest is at http://www.omnytex.com/articles/xhrstruts/ and sourceforge project at http://struts.sourceforge.net/ajaxtags/index.html There has been some discussion of this lately on the mailing list, you can view/search the archives at http://www.mail-archive.com/user%40struts.apache.org/ or http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=struts-userr=1w=2 Thanks for the tip on ajaxian.com, I hadn't heard of it before. It looks like some good information there. Good luck, -ed On 6/21/05, Néstor Boscán [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Thanks for the quick reply.

This question was asked about a month or two ago on this list. To summarize, it's dependant on a setting in the client browser and depends on a user's entries into a field with the same name on prior form submissions. It is not controllable on a HTML form nor field tag. Google does something like autocomplete by using XmlHttpRequest, a.k.a. AJAX, and Frank Zametti has written a library which integrates AJAX and Struts. -ed On 6/21/05, Néstor Boscán [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi How do I set the autocomplete attribute in the html:form tag.

Re: How to set autocomplete attribute in html:form
Néstor, Wow, I didn't know that existed, thanks for the link. Since it's not a standard Struts attribute, here's a couple of ideas: - creating a custom tag library that extends the standard HTML tag lib and tld, but this seems like overkill. - If you want to turn autocomplete on for every text field, you could create a filter that added the attribute for every page that's sent too, but it sounds like a lot of work and there could be performance problems. - You could create a javascript function that would go through a page's DOM, getting all elements of type text and loop through them, enabling this attribute for each one. You could then call this function in the body onload= attribute. These are just off the top of my head, there's probably better and/or more efficient ways of doing this. -ed On 6/21/05, Néstor Boscán [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Thanks for the quick reply.
