Standard applet Web templates (not grid-based) use placeholder tags to define an applet's layout. You could use the Web Layout Editor in Siebel Tools to map controls to any of the available placeholders, but you cannot use Web Layout Editor to change the layout of the placeholders themselves. To change the layout of the placeholders in these templates, you have to directly modify the applet Web template file. Grid Layout applet Web templates use a pair of Siebel tags ( The Grid Layout Web templates are:
Grid Layout applet Web templates consist of a body region and a header and footer region. The body region of the template is defined by the The following list summarizes how grid-based applet Web templates differ from standard (not grid-based) applet Web templates:
You can modify the background colors of applets based on Grid Layout Web templates by modifying the appropriate selectors in the cascading style sheet, main.css.
For more information about main.css, see Developing and Deploying Siebel eBusiness Applications. Grid-based templates make configuring the layout of form applets much simpler than configuring the layout of applets based on standard (not grid-based) templates. Using Grid Layout templates makes the process of designing a form applet similar to working in other palette-based graphics design applications.
