Question

I want to create a form that contains text boxes as follow. I am using Struts2.

User Name
|Text Box for user name|

mail id
|Text box for mail id|    

<s:textarea name="username" id="username" label="User Name"/>

This is showing:

User name |Text Box for user name|

But I want the above format. When I am using validation framework label is shown in italic, I want normal text.

Answer 1

That is because of default struts2 theme factor xhtml which is showing the output html in table structure
Change the theme to simple ans use your own css/HTML way to customize the output

crate a struts.properties file and add the following entry

struts.ui.theme=simple

this will change the theme for whole application as struts2 tags will no longer generates HTML/table code for you

else u can override the theme per page basis
like

<s:set name="theme" value="'simple'" scope="page" />

alternate way can be what “Steven” suggested
