I use SHtml.jsonForm in myjsonclass.show to wrap a jsonform to the HTML page with the following command:
<div id="form" class="lift:myjsonclass.show">
It works fine.
The SHtml.jsonForm method defines a random id for the form tag, I wonder if there is a solution to get that id and use it in the HTML. It will make easier for example to apply form validators in Javascript.
I have solved that by accessing a known element of the form and asking for its parent in javascript: element.parent(); So I am able to get id of the form with: element.attr('id').

For fun/practice I write a test for Google advanced search and I am looking for a locator that will allow to find the form submit on https://www.google.com/advanced_search:
<input class="jfk-button jfk-button-action dUBGpe"
style="-webkit-user-select:none;user-select:none;line-height:100%;height:30px;min-width:120px"
value="Wyszukiwanie zaawansowane" type="submit">
As you can see this submit does not have id nor name defined so by.id() or by.name() cannot be used.
by.css locates elements using a CSS selector. It allows you to simply use attribute selectors for locating elements in the DOM.
element(by.css('input[type="submit"]'))
To find the form submit the by.xpath locator can be used:
element(by.xpath("//input[#type='submit']"));
What locator will suite You depends of the whole page, but here are few locators you can try:
element(by.xpath("//input[#class='jfk-button jfk-button-action dUBGpe']"));
element(by.css("jfk-button.jfk-button-action.dUBGpe"));
In the past I have built labels for my form like this:
<label wicket:for="name"><wicket:label><wicket:message key="name"></wicket:message></wicket:label>:</label><input wicket:id="name" type="text"/>
Do I still need to use the wicket:label tag? I am not using wicket:label in wicket 7 and it seems to work fine. I may not be understanding the purpose of using wicket:label. It seems like wicket:label is just additional markup. Below is what I am doing now. Is this correct?:
<label wicket:for="name"><wicket:message key="name"></wicket:message>:</label><input wicket:id="name" type="text"/>
This example is related to Wicket XHTML tags
Have a look at the JavaDoc of AutoLabelResolver and AutoLabelTextResolver.
The <label wicket:for="name"> is handled by AutoLabelResolver. It links the HTML label tag to the HTML form component (in your case the input tag) by filling in the correct ID in the HTML for attribute of the label. It also adds css classes to the label tag for for example errors, so you can style the text in the label tag in case of an error.
The <wicket:label> has two purposes. If you give it a value either by the key attribute (as you did) or by having some text between the tags, the text is set as the label model of the Java FormComponent, which then is used in validation messages like this '${label}' is required. (see LabeledWebMarkupContainer#setLabel and LabeledWebMarkupContainer#getLabel).
If you don't assign any text to the <wicket:label> tag, then it is used as output. That means the value of the label model of your Java FormComponent is used to replace the tag.
If you have no <wicket:label> in the HTML markup and no label model set in your Java code, then your Java FormComponent will have an empty label model and Wicket falls back to using the Wicket ID as label. So depending on how your Wicket IDs look, you will get validator messages like 'user_name' is required. instead of something nice looking like 'User name' is required.
I'm trying to set a class or id parameter on a <h:inputHidden> in JSF. The code looks like this:
<h:inputHidden value="#{getData.name}" class="targ" />
But in the browser, the class isn't set:
<input type="hidden" name="j_idt6" value="j_idt6">
I need to set a class to this parameter, because I have a JavaScript autocomplete function for a <h:inputText> that sets a value in the hidden input, which needs to be passed in the next page.
Any ideas? Thanks!
I know it's a little bit late, but it can help someone in the future.
As inputHidden shows nothing in the browser there's no sense to allow it to have a class.
You can use the Id but as the Id could change as you change the component parents using it would bring some headache.
I'd suggest as a workaround, you can give it a parent so you can manipulate it by javascript.
Exemple:
JSF
<h:panelGroup styleClass="someCssClass">
<h:inputHidden id="someId" value="someValue" />
</h:panelGroup>
Javascript (using jQuery, you could use pure javascript also)
$('.someCssClass input[type=hidden]').val('yourNewValue');
None of these answers here satisfied my needs (need the PrimeFaces component, need class not ID, wrapping is too much work), so here's what I came up with:
Use pass-through attributes: https://www.primefaces.org/jsf-2-2-pass-through-attributes
Use pass:hidden-class="blah" (in my case, it's xmlns:pass up top)
Use [attribute=value] selector:
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sel_attribute_value.asp
document.querySelector multiple data-attributes in one element
That basically boils down to using something like this (because h:inputHidden becomes a regular input): document.querySelector("input[hidden-class=" + blah + "]")
Please, see similar question - How can I know the id of a JSF component so I can use in Javascript
You can sed "id" property, but in final html code it can be not the same, but composite: for example, if your input with id="myhidden" is inside form with id="myform", final input will have id="myform:myhidden".
In the end, I used a standard HTML <input type="hidden"> tag, as I had no advantages for using the JSF one. If you're trying to set a value in a hidden input with JavaScript, I recommend using this workaround.
#UiField Hyperlink historyLink;
this.historyLink.getElement().setAttribute("rel", "nofollow");
This sets the rel attribute of the containing div.
<div class="gwt-Hyperlink" rel="nofollow">history</div>
How do I get at the a tag?
You can get a element this way
Element a = historyLink.getElement().getFirstChildElement();
Maybe you can use an InlineHyperlink instead (if you don't want the div wrapper at all), but actually I don't understand the use of rel=nofollow on a link with a #hash-only href: if that's for Google AJAX crawling, can't you simply avoid outputting the link in the HTML snapshot you send in response to an _escaped_fragment_ request?
I've created custom form using FAPI for my site. And I place each control at specific location base on template provided by the designer. For instance -
<div id="myform">
<span>Enter Your Name : </span> <?php print drupal_render($form['name']); ?>
<span>Gender : </span><?php print drupal_render($form['gender_radio']); ?>
....
</div>
<?php print drupal_render($form['submit']); ?>
Here's my question - How do I enclose all the elements inside form tag? Is hardcoding the form tag inside the template file right way to do in drupal? or is it better to create in hook_form? But doing so would require me to add closing form tag at the end manually. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Drupal - 6.x
It sounds like maybe you read about building individual fields, but skipped over some basic concepts of FAPI. In short, if you call the form with drupal_get_form(), you get the form container (and many of the benefits of using FAPI, e.g. tokens, validation, etc.) automatically. To handle the markup that goes around your form elements, you can then use #prefix, #suffix, and markup elements.
You can assemble the whole form from the outside in like you're doing, but there are few cases in which that would really be worthwhile. If you really want to do that, you basically want to copy what drupal_get_form() does to get the form wrapper added in a way that will work with FAPI.
