datasetLocator

<jatox:datasetLocator>

Renders a static text display of the current location and number of records currently being displayed by its targeted container view (which is bound to some DatasetModel). This tag is only valid when nested inside of a useViewBean or containerView or tiledView tag body, although, it typically will not be used inside a tiledView tag.

This tag is only valid when enclosed by both an HTML <form> element and a useViewBean, containerView, or tiledView tag. This tag may not contain any body content.

Example:

<jatox:datasetLocator name="datasetLocator1"> <jato:containerView name="datasetLocator1"> <%@ include file="/com/sun/jatox/view/DatasetLocator.jsp" %> </jato:containerView> </jatox:datasetLocator>

The above would be rendered into the following various forms of HTML:

1. Records X to Y of Z (example: Records 11 to 20 of 53)

2. Records X to Y (example: Records 6 to 10)

3. Record X of Z (example: Record 23 of 41)

4. Record X (example: Record 14)

The included file is a precomposed pagelet that can be customized with some limits. Tweaking the wrong tag could produce undesired or unpredictable behavior. It is encouraged that only static content be modified or additional HTML markup be added when customizing this file.

Attribute Name	Description	Notes
name	The name of the `DisplayField` peer. This peer must be a child of the current parent `ContainerView`, `TiledView`, or `ViewBean`. The DisplayField name is resolved relative to the current parent view. The view peer must be of type `<JATOX package>.view.`DatasetLocator This name may be a qualified view path, using forward slashes ("/") as delimiters. All components in the path except the last must refer to a `ContainerView` or a derivative of `ContainerView` (such as `TiledView`). Both relative and absolute paths are possible. If a name path begins with a forward slash, the name is assumed to be relative to the root view (the `ViewBean`). If the path does not begin with a forward slash, the name is assumed to refer to a child relative to the current container. Two dots ("..") may be used to refer to the container that is the parent of the current container. Examples: `/header/orderList/customerName` (absolute from root view) `orderList/customerName` (relative to current container) `../footer/orderList/customerName` (relative to parent)	Req
