Hiding form field labels

[Sang Ts]

In <s:textfield> tag how can we disable the label attribute associated with struts2 form fields? Is it possible?

Hi,
Thank you for the reply.

When adding a struts control say a text field to a form, even if we are not giving the Label attribute, a label column (a new TD ) is added for that label.

We want to avoid this Label auto generation. We want to give the Label of the control explicity, directly in HTML itself.
Actually we want to avoid the new TD generation, this may badly affect our layout and design.

When adding the following line in jsp page

<form id="frm">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<s:textfield name="userName" ></s:textfield>
</td>
</tr>
<table>
</form>

it will renders as

<form id="frm">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<label for="frm_userName" class="label"> </label>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="userName" value="" id="frm_userName">
</td>
</tr>
<table>
</form>

Thanks
Sang

according to what ever you coded here

<form id="frm">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<s:textfield name="userName" ></s:textfield>
</td>
</tr>
<table>
</form>

will not generate any label for particular input field because you have not specified any lable="FooBar" for it and if it is generated it might be because some where some how you are setting Key for that element. it will have auto key if your using JQuery some where for that field

Hi,
Thank you for the reply.
When I added theme as "simple" in my form tag i got the textfield without extra column for label.
