Thanks for the quick reply. I believe this will help. However, a larger problem seems to be conditional display and validation. Is there a way to specify conditional behavior? What I mean is that suppose I have queried my db for the questions to display on the form and I get back something like:
ID Text Type DataType 123 How many widgets do you want? TextField Numeric 124 What's your favorite widget color? TextField String 125 Do you ski? Checkbox Boolean I will then package this data into some kind of collection of objects and make this available to my Tapestry page. I see that it is possible to display these form elements. Is it possible to show different types of form elements based on the Type? Furthermore, is it possible to use the Tapestry validation mechanism that is appropriate for a DataType conditionally based on the DataType returned? I know how this type of situation is handled in CF. It usually requires a lot of hand coding of html and if-thens in a loop. Tapestry is much more elegant in how it handles Web forms, etc. so I am hoping that there is an equally elegant solution for my problem. Forgive me for asking so many questions. I do not see any type of article anywhere on the internet even slightly similar to my query. I very much appreciate the insights of the users on this list. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
