Using HTML Properties on Views
Many design element properties have an <html> tab included (tables have a <@> tab), which allows the addition of HTML attributes. Layers, Cascading Style Sheets, Applets, Pictures, Hotspots, and Fields all have <html> tabs(see Figure 14.8). These attributes are applied to the HTML that Domino generates at runtime. In Table 14.8 is a list of each HTML attribute and its description. Two things to bear in mind when working with these attributes: HTML must be ASCII characters and quotation marks are not used.
Figure 14.8. Field Properties HTML tab.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Name/ID | Used when referencing an object with JavaScript or CSS. |
| Class | If a CSS style is defined in the HTML Head Content, the class is listed here and applied. |
| Style | In-line CSS is used to apply a specific CSS style. |
| Title | Displays a prompt to the user. |
| Other | Add HTML tag attributes without quotes. |
Views do not have an <html> tab to apply HTML attributes to, but through the View properties you can set how the view will display on the Web (see Figure 14.9). In Table 14.9 is a list of the Web Access settings in the View properties and their descriptions.
Figure 14.9. View Properties Advanced tab.
| Web Access Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Treat view contents as HTML | Allows you to change default settings by applying HTML attributes to a column. After you choose Treat View Contents as HTML, you can add HTML code to the column's Programmers Pane. This affects only how the view displays on the Web. |
| Use applet in browser | Notes type functionality is available, such as resizable columns, scrolling, F9 to refresh, expand/collapse without rendering the Web page again. The DEL key, selection margins, and multiple document selection are also available. |
| Allow selection of documents | Enables users to select more than one document. You could use this in conjunction with an Action, such as Delete or Move, where a user would want to select multiple documents. |
| Active Link, Unvisited, Visited color selection boxes | Select the color used to display the different link states. |
