AML Description Details

AML Attribute Table     Each of the AML elements from the preceding table is explained in this chapter. For each element, the explanation includes a table that provides information about the element’s attributes. These tables contain five columns. The first column lists the attributes, if any; the second column provides a description of each attribute; the third column lists the possible values of each attribute, the fourth column gives the default value of each attribute; and the fifth column indicates if the attribute is required. Within the AML attribute tables, some attributes have the term CDATA—for character data in the Possible Values column. The term CDATA is a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendation for XML that refers to any text which is not markup.

Markup Language Examples     In this chapter, every explanation of an AML element includes examples of related markup. For each element, the first example demonstrates the use of AML input. The second and third examples are of corresponding output in the following markup languages: WML (Wireless Markup Language) and cHTML (compact Hypertext Markup Language)

AmlStyle

Description     An AmlStyle object is used to change the way another AML element is rendered. A style will be applied when a condition you specify (a protocol or device) is present. Styles can have a wide range of effects on elements in their scope. AmlStyle elements can have a StyleId, be stored in libraries, and invoked by the developer. They may also be Inline and defined when used.

Element Body     ((AmlContainer*, (AmlText | AmlImage)?, AmlStyle?)

Parent     AmlDocument, AmlPage, AmlChoice, AmlOption, AmlForm, AmlTable, AmlTableRow, AmlTableCol, AmlInput, AmlLink, AmlControlMenu, AmlCheckBox, AmlText, AmlImage, AmlGroup, AmlListItem, AmlSelectListItem, AmlOrderedList, AmlList, AmlSelectList, AmlSpace

Restrictions     None

AML Attributes    

Attribute	Description	Possible values	Default	Req’d?
dpo	Set dpo	CDATA	No Default	No
protocol	Set protocol	CDATA	No Default	No
device	Set device type.	CDATA	No Default	No
styleid	Set styleid in style library	CDATA	No Default	No
inlinestyle	Set inlinestyle	CDATA	No Default	No

Markup Language Examples    

The AML input example that follows happens to use cHTML as the protocol. Therefore, the use of the AmlStyle element in this example affects the cHTML output but not the WML output as demonstrated in the output examples.

For information about all the supported protocols and the corresponding devices, access the Client Manager page using the Identity Server administration console.

Note	To Access the Client Manager Log in to the Identity Server administration console as the administrator. By default, Identity Management is selected in the Header frame (the top horizontal frame). Click the Service Configuration tab. A list of services appears in the Navigation frame (the left vertical frame). Scroll down the Navigation frame and click the arrow for Client Detection. The Client Detection page appears in the Data frame (the right vertical frame). Click the Edit link. The Client Manager window appears. From this window you can select a markup language to view a list of supported devices.

Sample AML Input:

<AmlDocument title="Style Test">
  <AmlPage title="Using Styles">
    <AmlForm url="Next">
      <AmlInput name="user">
        <AmlText text="Username"/>
        <AmlStyle protocol="CHtml" inlinestyle=’&lt;Input type="timepicker" name=".:name" size=".:width" /&gt;’/>
      </AmlInput>
