If "value" was set, it would use that, but if not set, it would use the body content. That would allow something like this: <html:text property="LHO_AppraisedPrice"> <bean:write property="LHO_AppraisedPrice" format="$###,###,###.00" /> </html:text> It looks a little silly because of the repeated property value, but it allows you to use the full functionality of "html:text". > -----Original Message----- > From: James Mitchell [mailto:jmitchtx@;telocity.com] > Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 2:24 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: RE: Can " format strings" be used with html:text input fields > > > > Here's a quick work-around: > > <input type="text" name="LHO_AppraisedPrice" value="<bean:write > name="overviewForm" > property="LHO_AppraisedPrice" > format="$###,###,###.00" />"> > > > James Mitchell > Software Engineer/Struts Evangelist > http://www.open-tools.org > > "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human > stupidity, and I'm not > sure about the former." > - Albert Einstein (1879-1955) > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Norman Klein [mailto:norman.klein@;first-franklin.com] > > Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 2:57 PM > > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > > Subject: Can " format strings" be used with html:text input fields > > > > > > > > Currently we use "format strings" to control the display > output of our > > financial fields for bean:write output statements. > > > > bean:write name="overviewForm" property="LHO_AppraisedPrice" > > format="$###,###,###.00" /> > > > > This "format string" ensures that thousands and hundred > thousands values > > automatically have the appropriate number of commas > inserted and that the > > value ends with ".00".
