How to have a struts2 form in a table? - css

Question

I am trying to have my form in a table but it generates a table and makes it a mess.
the generated table is as following:
<div>
<s:form action="myaction" >
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td><s:textfield name="name" label="Name" /></td>
<td><s:textfield name="family" label="Family" /></td>
<td><s:submit/></td>
</tr>
</table>
</s:form>
</div>
Source code :
<div>
<form id="myaction" name="myaction" action="/application/myaction.action" method="post">
<table class="wwFormTable"> <<<generated table
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td><tr>
<td class="tdLabel"><label for="Search_Name" class="label">Name:</label></td>
<td
><input type="text" name="Name" value="" id="Search_Name"/></td>
</tr>
</td>
<td><tr>
<td class="tdLabel"><label for="Search_Family" class="label">Family:</label></td>
<td
><input type="text" name="Family" value="" id="Search_Family"/></td>
</tr>
</td>
<td><tr>
<td colspan="2"><div align="right"><input type="submit" id="Search_0" value="Submit"/>
</div></td>
</tr>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</table></form>

Answer 1

Use the "simple" theme if you do not want to use S2's default "xhtml" theme.
You'll lose S2's automatic error reporting. You may wish to consider creating your own theme.
Alternatively, you can use the "simple" theme on individual controls.
See the "Themes and templates" docs to get started.

Answer 2

Try to use any theme in struts form tag
eg:
<s:form action="Courses" theme="css_xhtml">
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td><s:textfield name="courseAbbr" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</s:form>

Answer 3

May Be you should use this code instead...
<sp:form >
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<sp:textfield name="name"></sp:textfield>
</table>
</td>
<td>
<table>
<sp:textfield name="family"></sp:textfield>
</table>
</td>
<td>
<table>
<sp:submit/>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</sp:form>
