There are two ways to do this - 1) Modify the struts-html.tld (which is usually deployed in WEB-INF) and change the class name of the "text" tag, The downside is that, if you upgrade to a new version of struts, you have to remember to re-apply the change.
2) Create a new tld for this tag - I've put a tld file up on my web site just for this tag, as well as a jar which contains the class and source files. http://www.niallp.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk Niall ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erez Efrati" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Struts Users Mailing List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, March 13, 2004 10:26 PM Subject: RE: best way to highlight error form fields > Sorry but this is quite new to me: how do you use this source code?
