I want to hide a table on load of a page and hide it on click of a button on that page.I have created a property of type String in Action class named as "displayTablle" and assigned it a value "none" by default.So that when this page is opened by calling action,this property will be none and following code used in table tag should hide the table:
<table border="true" id="dataTable" style="display:"<s:hidden id="disTable" name = "displayTable" value="%{displayTable}"/>;">
<s:submit value="Fetch Data" align="center" action="displayDataAction" />
Then on click of Fetch Data button, I am setting value of this property to blank string i.e " ", so that table will be displayed, But I am stuck with the syntax and <s:hidden> is not getting bound properly, as when I open the page, last part of the table tag's code i.e ;"> is getting printed as is.
Can anybody suggest, what should be the right syntax to bind s:hidden in html table tag? Can we do it like this?
The property tag is used to write text to the JSP page. It has also option for unescaping that text, but it's not required in your case.
<table border="true" id="dataTable" style="display:<s:property value='%{displayTable}'/>;">
