I use struts-html to generate forms fields.
For example:
<%@ taglib prefix="html" uri="/WEB-INF/taglibs/struts-html.tld" %>
<html:text property="email" styleId="email" size="44"/>
generates:
<input type="text" name="email" size="44" value="" id="email">
As shown above the generated input tag is not closed. This causes my html to be not valid.
struts-html.tld includes:
<tlibversion>1.2</tlibversion>
<jspversion>1.1</jspversion>
<shortname>html</shortname>
<uri>http://struts.apache.org/tags-html</uri>
Does anyone knows why is the generated input not closed? Is there a newer version? Where can it be downloaded?
I tried using:
<html:html xhtml="true">
which renders as:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">
However, my input tags keep rendering unclosed.
Solution:
Use the tag:
<html:xhtml/>
Note: If you use Tiles, as I do, use it directly inside your included jsp. It is not inherited from your base template file.
Note: Within xhtml mode you can not use sytleId inside a html:form tag. It is not a problem since the id property is automatically generated to store your bean's name.
