public class SwapperTag
extends javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.BodyTagSupport

This class is a custom tag that renders the Swapper UI widget. A Swapper has two boxes separated by four buttons, one button to swap an element from the left box to the right, one to swap from right to left, one to swap all items from the left to the right and one to swap all from right to left. It also has two buttons next to the right box that allows items to be moved up or down in the list. The left box is considered the "source" box and it is meant for the user to construct a list on the right from the items on the left.

This tag renders all necessary HTML and Javascript for this widget, including the function JWP_UIWT_getList(), which can be called to retrieve the list on either side of the swapper. Pass it the ID that you set in the tag iteself, and optionally the constant JWP_UIWT_LEFT or JWP_UIWT_RIGHT to specify which side you want (if you don't pass a second parameter you will get the list on the right). This function returns an array of strings. Here is an example to simply display the list on the right:

alert(JWP_UIWT_getList("swapper1"));

The contents of the tag (i.e., between the opening and closing tag) is for you to fill out. It should be the HTML for the <option> elements of a <select> tag. These options will be populated in the left box of the swapper initially. You can use whatever techniques you like to generate this markup, or it can of course be static. See the usage example below for an illustration of how this all fits together (this is the same usage example demonstrated in the sample app).

This tag uses the following attributes:

Here is a usage example:

<uiwidgets:swapper id="swapper1" boxWidth="150" divStyle="border:2 solid #017fff;" boxStyle="color:#ff0000;">
  <option value="value1"> Value 1 Text</option>
  <option value="value2"> Value 2 Text</option>
  <option value="value3"> Value 3 Text</option>
  <option value="value4"> Value 4 Text</option>
  <option value="value5"> Value 5 Text</option>
</uiwidgets:swapper>
