Hi All, I'm migrating an AppFuse 1.8 app to AppFuse 2.0 (+ Struts) and learning all the underlying frameworks in the process.
My old app uses <button ... tags to achieve a "flat button" look & feel. I need to retain the original L&F and I'm investigating the best way to do this. I notice that AppFuse 2.0 uses <input elements. I'm not sure if that's a design change from 1.8 or if 1.8 also had <input tags and the people that worked on the old version of my app changed that. My questions are: 1. Did AppFuse 1.8 use <button tags instead of <input ? If so, why were they changed back to <input in AppFuse 2.0 ? (this second question is to help me decide if changing them back to <button is a good idea). 2. AFAICT, if I want to change all the <input tags back to <button tags, I'm going to have to touch a lot of .jsps. It's not that hard, but it seems to be introducing more maintenance overhead (eg WRT merging in newer versions of AppFuse down the track etc.) than I'd like to do. Is there a better way to do this? I thought SiteMesh might provide an option, but in my reading so far, the generic SiteMesh tags don't seem to be able to target HTML elements below the <body> level. 3. My CSS skills are much better than they were, but are still pretty rudimentary. Last I knew, you couldn't make an <input button go "flat" via CSS. Is that still the case?
