Description

Hello!

I first posted this in user [e-mail], please see:
https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/struts-user/201403.mbox/[e-mail]%3E

It looks like this might be a bug since the form do not pass validation at:
http://validator.w3.org/check

The problem is that hidden tags in the form is within the table, but do not get any tr and td tags.

The struts-users helped me to this work around:

I put a new file "hidden.ftl" in my resources-folder (I use maven with eclipse):
resources/template/xhtml/hidden.ftl

The content in hidden.ftl is:

<tr style="display:none;">
	<td>
		<#include "/${parameters.templateDir}/simple/hidden.ftl" />
	</td>
</tr>

Then it validates fine!

Best regards
Fredrik
