AOWeb Struts Skin Taglib Reference

Template webapp for legacy Struts-based site framework with AOServ Platform control panels.

This taglib is part of an extensible suite of interoperable, context-aware, auto-encoding taglibs. All auto-encoding tags generate correct output for their context, provide context information for nested tags, and validate the output of nested tags. For example, <ao:message> within <skin:description> will write its output encoded as TEXT, while within <skin:content> (of type "text/html") will write its output encoded as XHTML.

This suite includes, but is not limited to:

Tag Summary

<skin:keywords>	Provides keywords to its PageTag parent tag or the page overall if parent not found.
<skin:description>	Provides a description to its PageTag parent tag or the page overall if parent not found.
<skin:author>	Provides an author to its PageTag parent tag or the page overall if parent not found.
<skin:authorHref>	Provides an author href to its PageTag parent tag or the page overall if parent not found.
<skin:copyright>	Provides a copyright to its PageTag parent tag or the page overall if parent not found.
<skin:path>	Provides a path to its PageTag parent tag or the page overall if parent not found. The body of this tag, after trimming, is valid RFC 3986 URI or RFC 3987 IRI.
<skin:meta>	Provides a meta to its PageTag parent tag or the page overall if parent not found. In precedence order, the content may be provided as: Nested <ao:content> tag content attribute Body
<skin:link>	Adds a link tag to this page. In precedence order, the href may be provided as: Nested <ao:href> tag href attribute The body of this tag, after trimming, is valid RFC 3986 URI or RFC 3987 IRI. Parameters must be properly URL encoded but not XML encoded (with & instead of &). The path before the first ? will be encoded by this tag. The preferred approach is to add any necessary parameters using nested <ao:param> and <ao:params> tags. Any attribute that has no namespace and begins with `param.` is added to the URL as a parameter. The parameter name is the part of the attribute name following `param.`. When a parameter value is `null` it is not added. If the value is an Iterable, Iterator, Enumeration, or array, then each non-null element is coerced to String as a separate parameter in iteration order. Otherwise, the value itself is coerced to String for the parameter value. Nested <ao:param> or <ao:params> tags will add parameters after any provided as attributes. Please note, that any links to stylesheets here are never optimized. Please prefer the AO Web Resources Taglib.
<skin:title>	Provides a title to its PageTag parent tag or the page overall if parent not found.
<skin:navImageAlt>	Provides a navImageAlt to its PageTag parent tag or the page overall if parent not found.
<skin:parent>	Adds a parent to the hierarchy above this page.
<skin:child>	Adds a child to the <skin:parent> tag or at the same level as this page if no parent tag.
<skin:skin>	Sets up the request and response, then writes all of the HTML preceding and following the content of the page.
<skin:lightArea>	Surrounds the body with a light area.
<skin:whiteArea>	Surrounds the body with a white area.
<skin:content>	Writes the advanced content area with skin-provided formatting. This is essentially a fancy way to make tables with skin-specific formatting and dividers.
<skin:contentTitle>	Prints the content title line, must be nested in a content tag.
<skin:contentLine>	Prints a line of content in a content area. Must be nested in a <skin:content> tag.
<skin:contentVerticalDivider>	Prints a vertical divider within the content line. Must be nested in a <skin:contentLine> tag.
<skin:contentHorizontalDivider>	Prints a horizontal divider line. Must be nested in a <skin:content> tag.
<skin:autoIndex>	Creates an auto index on a per-skin formatted basis.
<skin:popupGroup>	A popup group will only have one <skin:popup> within the group visible at a time. Opening a second <skin:popup> will close the one that was first opened.
<skin:popup>	A popup will display extra information when the mouse is moved over a link/image. Popups must be nested inside a <skin:popupGroup>. Only one of the popups for each popup group will be displayed at a time.
<skin:popupClose>	Renders a close button/link/image for a popup. Must be nested inside a <skin:popup> tag.
<skin:lightDarkTableRow>	Alternates between `aoLightRow` and `aoDarkRow` classes.
