If you want to render string as html you need to use MarkupWriter#writeRaw() method:
void beginRender(MarkupWriter writer) { writer.writeRaw("<input type='checkbox' name='leaf' id='leaf' value='leaf'/>"); } Or you can use OutputRaw component: <t:outputraw value="testFunction()"/> Or you can use Renderable to write markup: @Property(write = false) private final Renderable checkbox = new Renderable() { public void render(MarkupWriter writer) { writer.element("input", "type", "checkbox", "id", "leaf", "name", "leaf", "value", "leaf"); writer.end(); // if you need checked attribute // writer.getElement().attribute("checked", "checked"); } }; And on template: <t:delegate to="checkbox"/> On Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 11:04 AM, newbie newbie <codehel...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi, > > I need to write HTML from my .java page.
