Editing the Layout of Web Page Objects

---

Like applets and views, Web pages are associated with templates. Web Page Items (child objects of Web pages) are mapped to placeholders in the templates. The Visual Web Page Editor allows a user to view and edit Web page objects.

To access the Web Page Layout Editor

1. Select a Target Browser from the drop-down list on the toolbar.

   NOTE:  If you do not select a browser, an error message appears when you choose the Edit Web Layout option from the menu.

2. Lock your project.
3. In the Object Explorer, select the Web Page Object.
4. In the Web Pages list object editor, select the Web Page you want to modify, right-click, and then choose Edit Web Layout.

   The Web Page-Layout (Container Page) window appears.

   NOTE:  The layout editor shows multiple images because the template on which the Web page is based contains a conditional tag such as<swe:if> and <swe:case>. The template content that is used varies depending on whether any one of the conditions is met. For example, in the case of the Page Container, the condition can simply be whether or not a CTI Java Applet is used or some other subtle or nonvisual differences. The effect is that the layout editor shows the page as if all the conditions were true. This is useful in case you want to edit any of them. However, typically only one condition would be true at run time, so you would not see the repeating images in the Web client.

5. Select a custom control from the combo box on the toolbar and drag it to a place holder.
6. Set properties (like caption, invoke method, and so on) for the control using the Properties window.

   If you click on the Web Page Item object type in the Object Explorer, the Web Page Items list applet displays these mappings.
