Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a jsp file with an inputText tag that looks like this:<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&lt;h:inputText styleClass=&quot;inputText&quot; id=&quot;objectname&quot; required=&quot;true&quot; value=&quot;#{msg.objectname}&quot; maxlength=&quot;50&quot; onblur=&quot;validateRequired(t<wbr />his, event);&quot;&gt;<br />
<br />
I have a handler that looks at the class and if a specific word is found there, then it does some action. &nbsp;I would like to add to the action by looking for an attribute say &quot;myAttr&quot; and then do something else if that is set. For instance, I want to be able to do this:<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&lt;h:inputText styleClass=&quot;inputText&quot; myAttr=&quot;showdetails&quot; id=&quot;objectname&quot; required=&quot;true&quot; value=&quot;#{msg.objectname}&quot; maxlength=&quot;50&quot; onblur=&quot;validateRequired(t<wbr />his, event);&quot;&gt;<br />
<br />
When I do this however, I get an exception:<br />
<br />
Error Message:JSPG0227E: Exception caught while translating /jsp/view/MySpecialForm.js<wbr />p: &nbsp;/jsp/view/MySpecialForm.js<wbr />p(311,19) --&gt; JSPG0123E: Unable to locate tag attribute info for tag attribute myAttr.<br />
<br />
How can I add my attribute without causing an exception? Is this possible?

Adding a custom attribute to an existing tag

JavaServer Pages (JSP) allow the development of dynamically generated web pages. It uses the Java programming language; JSP pages are translated into servlets at runtime, with each servlet being cached and reused until the JSP is modified. JSP allows Java code to be interleaved with static web markup content, so the resulting page can be compiled and executed on the server to deliver the content.
