Hello -
I ran into a problem when using the HtmlForm approach (as explained on Page 46
-
49 of Click User Manual titled "Programmatic Layout").
The problem is that I am unable to get the setRequired() method to work.
Everything else works fine and it provides a much cleaner layout that works
more
seamlessly with a CSS stylesheet.
Belowis my helper method that is referred to in the manual and all I did was
pass in either a true or false and then call the
setRequired() method. This did not work however during testing as I could enter
a form with no input and it did not produce the Click generated error messages.
It does work fine when I swap back to the Form approach.
Has anyone run into this problem and if so, could you please explain how you
could resolve this issue.
Thank you..
Conor
// Provide a helper method to add text fields to the form
private void addTextField(String nameStr, String labelStr, boolean
isRequired, HtmlList list) {
// Create a new ListItem <li> and add it to the List
ListItem item = new ListItem();
list.add(item);
// Create a textfield with the specified name
Field field = new TextField(nameStr);
//Denotes whether it is a mandatory field: ** NOT WORKING **
field.setRequired(isRequired);
// Create a field label, which associates the label with the field id.
// label.toString would output: <label for="firstname">Firstname:</name>
FieldLabel label = new FieldLabel(field, labelStr);
// Next add the label and field to the list item.
// item.toString would then produce:
// <li>
// <label for="firstname">Firstname:</name>
// <input type="text" name="firstname" id="form_firstname" value=""
size="20"/>
// </li>
//
item.add(label);
item.add(field);
} // end addTextField
