Creating and saving templates
Creating a new default template
To create a new default XHTML export template, select New
Default from the pop-up menu in the Export Template view for XHTML.
A new default XHTML export template has the following elements:
|
Elements |
Name defaults to |
|---|---|
|
Root <form> |
DataWindow name_dataForm |
|
Header <div> |
DataWindow name_band1 |
|
Detail <div> |
DataWindow name_bandn |
|
Summary <div> |
DataWindow name_bandn |
|
Footer <div> |
DataWindow name_bandn |
|
Child elements of the Header, Detail, Summary, |
Name of each DataWindow control. |
Saving the template
To save
a new default template, select Save from the pop-up menu in the Export
Template view for XHTML, name the template, and provide a comment that
identifies its use.
The template is stored inside the DataWindow object in the PBL. After saving a template with
a DataWindow object, you can see its definition in the Source editor
for the DataWindow object. For example, this is part of the source
for a DataWindow that has two templates. The templates have required
elements only:
|
1 |
export.xhtml(usetemplate = "t_phone"<br>template = (name = "t_address" <br> comment = "Employee Address Book" xhtml = "<...>")<br>template = (name = "t_phone" <br> comment = "Employee Phone Book" xhtml = "<...>") ) |
Defining multiple templates
You can define multiple templates for a single DataWindow
object. One reason you might do this is to vary the edit styles
generated for the same DataWindow edit control.
