Re: Input taglib: proposed enhancement

[Brian Cole]

IMO, you would to ensure that escaping is done properly. I would give the example as :   <input:text name="familyName" attributesText="size=\"20\"" maxlength="20" class="inputgrey"'/> The ugliness of this is a normal consequence of putting html into jsp ; it's almost a convention :-) For what it's worth, I think it's a good idea, but obviously people might abuse it by putting in things that ought to be real attributes. No way to stop that ; but can be documented. And I'm not sure about the name, but haven't come up with a better one.

It simplifies the addition of attributes to the <input> tags by adding a tag attribute called "attributesText", this is a text string that is just added verbatim into the <input> tag when it is output. eg. <input:text name="familyName" attributesText='size="20" maxlength="20" class="inputgrey"'/> I have already made the patches (very simple) to the source and can send to someone if interested? let me know kind regards, k@rl ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
