BuildWidget

Usage

Use the BuildWidget function to add the following input UI controls to a display page in a browser-based application:

  • Image map
  • List box
  • Radio button
  • Check box
  • Text box

The image map, list box, radio button, and check box input UI controls allow a user to make feature selections in a browser-based application. The text box input UI control allows the user to enter data that can be reused in the application.

You call the BuildWidget function in the <BODY> section of a display page. Also, all BuildWidget calls must be inside the <FORM> section of the HTML source of display pages. The function is usually called from within a JavaScript document.write method.
