Hi,
I am working on a
J2EE project with JSPs,
Struts 1.1,
JBoss, MySQL, and the works.
I found the
Struts-Layout Suggest via the internet -
"
http://struts.application-servers.com".
I am trying to use it! It is basically having what I wanted, i.e. struts support with the auto-complete/suggest feature (like there is in the google suggest website)
I think it is combining the struts tag lib and the AJAX Framework.
There is a problem though! In fact two of them.
1. I would like to have a
combo-box instead of the usual text box that comes with the <layout:suggest> tags. This is required since I want to show a particular
string value as the label and catch an ID value in the background after the 'label' is selected, as it usually happens in the combo box in <HTML:select> tag of the struts library.
"i.e --> I want the feature of suggest in a combo box"
2. As soon as I use the <layout:suggest> tags, I loose the local formatting of my
JSP page, which is using several css and IFRAMES!! I am not able to remedy this, even tried omitting the <html:layout> but doesn't help!!
Can you guide me how to do this?? I am posting this here since I am not able to find the email to post this to the authors of the <struts:layout>!!
And also, can anyone suggest any other
better example or technique which could help me implement the
'suggest' feature while giving a bit more flexibility to the developer?
Thanks a lot in anticipation!!
C.K.
