Repackaging
Struts-Layout zip does no longer contain the newsreader example, which is now available as a separate download.
Error field
The focus can be automatically set on the first field having an error.
Suggest
The new <layout:suggest> can be used to suggest items when the user types in a text box.
Treeview
Treeview nodes can now be open or closed in the Struts actions.
Menu component
To allow to use Struts-Layout treeview and menus tags and a recent version of Struts-Menu in the same application,
the MenuComponent class has been moved to the package fr.improve.struts.taglib.layout.menu.
Statistics
The collection tag can display statistics with the new mathOperation attribute.
Tabs selection with pager
Fix tabs selection when there is a pager in the tabs and the jsp path known by the browser is not the same as the sort action path.
The fix defines a javascript variable named "contextPath" which is then used by the tabs.
User defined form modes
In addition to the 3 predefined form modes (create, edit, inspect), Struts-Layout now allows you to define custom form display modes.
Better dynamic page inclusion support
Struts-Layout tags now find their parents even when they are in a runtime included JSP.
This fixes HTML code generation issues.
Nested compatibility
The property attribute of the input field tags and the collection tag is now compatible with the struts nested taglib.
To enable nested compatibility, add nested.compatibility = true in the Struts-Layout configuration file.
CollectionInput
Make MODE_INSPECT behave as other Struts-Layout input tags: generate an hidden input field.
Pager
Display an input field next to the pager allowing to navigate to a specified page. See the skin configuration property layout.pager.displayDirect
Datagrid tag
The new datagrid, datagridColumn tags and the Datagrid object allow to easily display and modify a list of data.
Deprecated code cleanup
All use of deprecated Struts 1.1 code has been removed, making Struts-Layout compatible with Struts 1.2
OptionsDependentTag
Make it possible to link two select tags with the <layout:optionsDependentTag>.
Collection tag
Add <layout:collectionDetail> and <layout:detail> tag to build simple master/detail pages.
Pager tag
Allow to set the default number of items per page in the skin configuration file.
Alow to set the maximum number of links to display in the skin configuration file.
Treeview tag
