That sounds dead on with what I need. I'll give it a try! Thanks.
The closest *cough* solution I have at the moment is the following template:
<t:form>
<textarea name="articleTitleText">
<t:myComponent t:id="myComponent"/>
</textarea>
</t:form>
Notice I'm using a non-tapestry textarea. This successfully populates the
form with the right text... but, on submit of the form, for whatever reason
Tapestry is trying to coerce the form contents back into the component (at
least, I think so--I get a 'no coercion for String to custom component'
exception). I made a quick-and-dirty type coercer that does nothing, just
to get rid of the type coercion exception thrown.
So definitely I'd like to check out this tapx-templating...
