<a:TextField>

Renders an <input type="text" .../> tag, which is a standard html text field input form element. As with other aribaweb form elements, also provides for mapping the input from the request back into the object from which it came. In addition, formatting support is provided to both render and re-map the users String values into proper objects suitable for putting back into the source object.

Bindings

value *	The value attribute is used to both get and set the value from/to the source object. During renderResponse, the value is used to render a String into the outgoing response (via an optional formatter). During applyValues, the value is used to put the user's input back into the source object (after the optional formatter parses the input String into the appropriate object class). Note that, if the user dowsn't type anything into a blank field, this will put an empty string into the destination and not $null.	Object (both)
formatter	The formatter is used to convert the user's value Object into a String during renderResponse and back into an object of the appropriate subclass during applyValues. Many different types of formatters are acceptable. Implementations of AWFormatting have been done for java.text.Format, ariba.util.Formatter, and AWFormatter.	AWFormatting (get)
autoselect	By default, the first TextField in the page will autoselect itself using a small amount of Javascript. You can disable that via this binding, hwever if someone later places a TextField somewhere earlier in the page, then it will grab the autoselect and this attribute will not apply.	boolean (get)
onChange	Allows for providing your own onChange handler in JavaScript. As with all event handlers for AribaWeb based components, it is strongly recommended that you not use them as their use may conflict with internal implementation.	String (get)
action	Allows for enabling to submit the form with the indicated action.	AWResponseGenerating (get)
isRefresh	If set to true, Javascript onKeyDown handler is set to submit the enclosing form. If set to true then the onChange binding is ignored.	boolean (get)
name	The name attribute allows for providing your own name for the TextField. As with other AribaWeb based components in the system, it is strongly recommended that you not provide your own name as the system cannot guarantee that the name is unique across the page.	String (get)
emptyStringValue	The emptyStringValue attribute allows for providing a default value in the event the user doesn't enter anything in the TextField. For example, since an empty TextField will push an empty String into the object, you may want to treat this as $null. You could do this with a formatter as well, but this provides an alternative to a custom formatter.	Object (get)
id	An alternative to the 'name' binding.	String (get)
onKeyDown	Do not use this binding. This is documented here to prevent onKeyDown from being available in "otherBindings".	String (get)
errorKey	If you have a formatter binding, then the String value typed in by the user will be parsed through that formatter. Should a parse exception occur, this error key will be used to record the error, along with the errantValue, into the AWErrorManager on the AWPage. If you do not provide an errorKey, the elementId of this textfield will be used.	Object (get)
disabled	Disables the text field if true.	boolean (get)
behavior	For internal use: Allow for override of text field behavior.	String (get)
class	CSS class	String (get)
size	INPUT size (if not specified tfW class applied, resulting in 156px wide field)	int (get)
