hi again,

when i'm working with forms, i have repeatedly found myself having to implement my own form ctrls, because sbt doesn't allow me to specify all the attributes i need.

i have currently had to do:

value (set a default value)
autofocus (activate on page load)
required (can't be empty)
accept (for file types)
and they should also have the html5 validation attributes available (max/min, maxlength/minlength, pattern).

i wonder if the ctrl function could have a rest parameter and allow for a plist of further attributes? or is there some other way you have found to handle this? i don't think sbt should prevent access to any (common) html attributes.

Hi @martianh

thanks for your comment. You are right that some aspects about web forms are not yet available but should be. I don't know yet how a good interface could be to support attributes for form controls, but I will think about it.

A datalist is not yet available.

Cheers.
