Hello,

to use some browser's capability to "autofill" (like "Ah, this input is called 'firstname', let me offer my user all the firstnames he entered elsewhere"), we would like to at least (since the id is random anyway) set the name attribute of the input fields. Unfortunately, the documentation of InputElement.setName says...

Don't use this method if your application is purely based on ZK's event-driven model.

So, big question: Will this cause somehow troubles if I use this method? Or is there another way to put the name of the input element into the resulting html?

you can have fixed id's when you create your own IdGenerator. but of course, it has it's disadvatages having fixed id's. About the name attribute I can't help.

Yeah, I know, but this would mean solving the whole id space problem myself (since the id should be unique in the resulting html document - and stay the same when other stuff around it changes), I would like not to do that ;-)

Since zk 7 there is a staticidgenerator. You could use that and don't have problems with the idspace
