HTML Templates for the Edit Pages

Nine HTML templates are used to create edit pages for the communication channel providers. The templates are generic, to correspond to specific browser GUI types, and they primarily relate to specific HTML inputs in the edit pages.

The edit-start.template and the edit-end.template are exceptions. They contain most of the HTML that is used for page layout. HTML Templates for the Edit Pages contains a description of each template name and how it relates to the GUI types. Some of the templates are used to start, end and separate the attributes. These templates are available for each of the communication channels at:

/etc/opt/SUNWportal/desktop/default/ChannelName_Provider /html

For example, the templates for the Calendar channel edit pages can be accessed at:

/etc/opt/SUNWportal/desktop/default/CalendarProvider/html
