All HTML Tags Available for Struts?

[Dale DeMott]

Are all HTML tags supported by struts? Or are there some that need to be overridden by struts. Example. I know we use the <FORM:TEXT> for input.. but if I wanted, could I use <input>?

[Nathan Hook]

The tag classes inside of struts are just recommendations. You can use any html tag that you would like to.

Best of Luck,

The main purpose for the majority of the struts html taglib are for prepopulation of the fields on your page. Very handy, indeed.

This may sound like a stupid question but prepopulating your fields with what?[

With data from your model.

At the very least, most people will use prepopulation for validation. When you return to the page with errors you want your submitted values to be there still. Without prepopulation, all your fields would be empty every time you return to the page.
