Nikolaos updated STS-751:
-------------------------
Attachment: stripes-xhtml-patches.tar.gz
Attaching patch bundle that Timothy Stone authored.
(Ben you and I received the bundle from Timothy 2 days ago directly via e-mail
- I looked it over and the changes look very minimal and seem correct however I
have yet to test; Timothy I went ahead and re-stated the issue as an
improvement and attached your code to expedite this patch - in addition
attachments can not be added to a closed issue).
Hope this can still make it into the 1.5.4 release. Thanks Ben and Timothy.
> Add support ala Struts to generate HTML or XHTML compliant close tags

> Key: STS-751
> URL: http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-751
> Project: Stripes
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tag Library
> Affects Versions: Release 1.5
> Environment: No specific OS required; no specific Java version
> required; etc...
> Reporter: Nikolaos
> Attachments: stripes-xhtml-patches.tar.gz

> HTML and XHTML documents have some key differences.
> For example - if we consider the <input> tag:
> - In HTML, the <input> tag has no end tag e.g. <input name="website.url"
> type="text" size="30">
> - In XHTML, the <input> tag must be properly closed, like this <input />
> e.g. <input name="website.url" type="text" size="30" />
> Stripes 1.5.x however does not have a mechanism to discern whether or not to
> properly close tags or not and as such takes the safer approach which is to
> explicitly close tags as it results in valid XHTML and is not an error for
> HTML but results in a warning when validating HTML documents. Although the
> latter is not a critical issue it does result in needless or unnecessary
> complaints when validating and as such is an annoyance albeit minor.
> Struts since 1.x has solved this issue quite easily by allowing the inclusion
> of the xhtml="true" attribute to mark that closure is required (false
> indicates no closure). In this manner authors of XHTML and HTML documents
> are equally satisfied in not having any errors or extraneous warnings.
> Timothy Stone had reported this issue and classified it as a bug here:
> http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-556?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=11931#action_11931
> The issue was rightly closed as "Not a bug" as most of the discussion was
> based on a non-w3c validator which yielded results that considered the
> validation unsuccessful which is not the case with the w3c validator (not to
> mention that it is irrelevant whether or not XHTML is considered dead or we
> should align to HTML 5 - etc...).
> As such this issue report is a re-statement of the above closed issue
> reported as an improvement and setting the stage for patch to be attached.
