public class HtmlFile

extends HtmlInput

This class will generate an HTML text box, writing out something like:

<input type=\"text\" name=\"somename\" value=\"somevalue\">

depending on the attributes set in this class. This class implements all the HTML 4.01 Transitional attributes of a textbox.

Note: The W3C spec says that the value attribute in the <input type="file"> tag should display that as the intial filename. Many browsers (including Internet Explorer, Netscape and Mozilla) ignore this for security reasons.

This class (HtmlText.java) is part of the com.raj.htmlForms package that automatically generates HTML forms programmatically.

Constructor Detail

HtmlFile

public HtmlFile(java.io.Writer w)

Parameters:

w - the Writer to which all the data will be written out

W3C Reference for forms

See Also:

W3C Reference of this attribute

getAcceptList

public java.lang.String getAcceptList()

gets the list of MIME types that this form can process

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Description copied from class: HtmlFormElement

Writes the attributes of this object to a string and returns them.

The toString() method should logically return a string representing the attributes of the HTML element, eg if you set the name, title and style of the element then you should return a string containing:

name="myName" title="some title" style="foo: xxx; bar: yyy;"

The responsibility for turning this into a form deliverable to a user agent belongs to the write() method.

Overrides:

toString in class HtmlInput

reset

public void reset()

Description copied from class: HtmlFormElement

resets all attributes of the element back to a blank state

Overrides:

reset in class HtmlInput

write

public void write()

writes a file selector dialog to the given writer

Specified by:
