Hi,
I’m using MyEclipse to create a STRUTS web application intended for older people. I have a form with several input fields. The usual way I’d do this is:

<label for=”fa”>Favourite Activity</label>
<input type=”text” name=”otherActivity” id=”fa”>

so the label tag picks up the “id” of the field, and users don’t have to be too precise with their mouse clicks. All well and good.

I’d like to use the <html:text property=”otherActivity” /> tag to save time, but it won’t accept the “id” attribute, so my <label> is no good.

Has anyone else come across this? Could anyone suggest a work around?

Many thanks,
James.

Moving to OT > Soft Dev, this isn’t ME related.

Additionally, I would suggest you ask the Struts mailing list as well as this list. Those guys are pretty sharp and could likely tell you why or how the id field was omitted (I can’t imagine you are the only one to notice this).

Thanks for moving this – I wasn’t sure which forum to use!

Ive found the answer – use the “styleId” attribute in the <html:text> tag. Simple really!

styleID? Hmm… seems strange but ok! Thanks for posting the solution.
