Description

This enhancement to the <netui:rewriteName> tag comes out of a discussion in the Beehive dev list about how to enable HTML tags to participate in the NetUI JavaScript scoping features. The end result of the discussion was to add a new attribute, forTagId, to the <netui:rewriteName> tag. When the attribute is set to true it will rewrite the name using the tag id scoping within the page rather than the URLRewriting (and request scoping). Then a developer's client side JavaScript code can access a fragment of markup by using the NetUI lookIdByTagId() JavaScript function.
