IE doesNT follow W3C very well.

Did you tested it using IE and another browser? IE does follow W3C standards very well. So whenever I try to align something, I always set padding and margin (or margin-top and margin-bottom), in the stylesheet, and put it as a class of a block element (like <p>). Inside the block element, you can put what you want.

 

<p sytle="text-align:left;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px">

     <label .../>

</p>

 

You can set display : block instead, as a class of other type of element, but I've this not working on IE.

Daniel,

I added the missing "for" attribute, unfortunately it didn't make a difference.

I dont know if this is it, but you are missing the "for" attribute on the last label

 

<webuijsf:label id="label4" text="Birth Date:"/>
<webuijsf:calendar id="calendar1"/>
<webuijsf:message for="calendar1" id="message4" showDetail="false" showSummary="true"/>

Hello,

I am working on a visual web application. I don't think I'm doing anything too esoteric, but I am having difficulty aligning the Woodstock calendar component correctly with other fields.

In my JSP page, I have a grid panel with three colums, one for labels, one for input fields and one for messages, fairly basic, standard stuff.

I added a couple of styles to the generated stylesheet.css file to right align and left align labels and input fields, respectively:

.leftAlign{
    text-align:left;
}

.rightAlign{
    text-align:right;
}

Then used these styles as the value of "columnClasses" in my grid panel:

<h:panelGrid border="0" columnClasses="rightAlign,leftAlign,leftAlign" columns="3" id="gridPanel1"
                            style="left: 24px; top: 96px; position: absolute" width="600">

Then I placed a label, an input field and a message component to each row in the grid:


                        <h:panelGrid border="0" columnClasses="rightAlign,leftAlign,leftAlign" columns="3" id="gridPanel1"
                            style="left: 24px; top: 96px; position: absolute" width="600">
                            <webuijsf:label for="firstName" id="label1" text="First Name:"/>
                            <webuijsf:textField id="firstName"/>
                            <webuijsf:message for="firstName" id="message1" showDetail="false" showSummary="true"/>
                            <webuijsf:label for="middleName" id="label2" text="Middle Name:"/>
                            <webuijsf:textField id="middleName"/>
                            <webuijsf:message for="middleName" id="message2" showDetail="false" showSummary="true"/>
                            <webuijsf:label for="lastName" id="label3" text="Last Name:"/>
                            <webuijsf:textField id="lastName"/>
                            <webuijsf:message for="lastName" id="message3" showDetail="false" showSummary="true"/>
                            <webuijsf:label id="label4" text="Birth Date:"/>
                            <webuijsf:calendar id="calendar1"/>
                            <webuijsf:message for="calendar1" id="message4" showDetail="false" showSummary="true"/>
                        </h:panelGrid>

The three text input fields align properly, but the calendar component is slightly indented, I took some screenshots of the design page and the output (attached)

Any idea of how to make the calendar component align properly with other input fields?

Thanks,
David
