Creating a New HTML Type

You can create a new HTML type.

To create a new HTML type

1. Add the name of the new type to the List of Values used for the HTML Type property in Siebel Tools (REPOSITORY_HTML_CTRL_TYPE).

   MiniButton is an example of a name.

2. Modify a web template definition as follows:

   1. Add the format information for the new type.

      Siebel CRM uses two web template definitions that contain Siebel Web Format (SWF) content. One of these web template definitions contains the special types that Siebel CRM defines. The other contains custom definitions that you define to add more types or to override Siebel types.

      Use the swe:htmltype and <div od-property="<>"> tags to define how to display the custom type using the following format:

      <swe:htmltype name="XXX" mode="AAA" state="BBB">
        ..... HTML .....
        <div od-property="<YYY>"/>
        .... More HTML ....
      </swe:htmltype>
      

   2. Set the UserSWFName parameter to the name of the web template definition containing SWF content that the Application Object Manager must use.

      For more information about the Application Object Manager, see Siebel System Administration Guide.

3. In Siebel Tools, modify the HTML Type property of the control, list column, or page item to the new type.

4. In the template file, use the FormattedHTML property for the <div od-type="control"> tag or the <div od-type="pageItem"> tag.
