linkFormatter

public static void linkFormatter(org.apache.tapestry.IRequestCycle cycle,
                                 org.apache.tapestry.engine.IScriptSource scriptSource,
                                 org.apache.tapestry.IComponent comp,
                                 JsFormatter formatter,
                                 String uniqueId)

Connects a given IFormComponent to a client-side javascript formatter that will bind events to a form field to mask input and format values on change events.

The incoming expression should be a valid bean locator exp, that looks like "number,places=0;decimal=.;separator=,". The general format is <formatter-type>,<initializer>, where the initializer is a formatter specific string (for example, the above initializer sets number formatting params - note that semicolons are used in the initializer, while the locator itself expects a comma).

For formatter specific instructions of the initializer, see its javadoc.

Parameters:

cycle - The current request.

scriptSource - Tapestry script source.

comp - component being referenced.

formatter - javascript formatter.

uniqueId - optional overriden unique id for the component.
