About the This Tag

A this tag is a type of Siebel tag that you can use if you must use a multipart tag but reference the control that the Siebel Web Engine creates at a location other than at the beginning or end of the tag. The following code includes an example of a this tag:

<div od-type="control" id="1">
   ...HTML here...
   <div od-property="formattedHTML"/>
<!--od section control close-->
</div>

The <div od-property> tag is an alias for the nearest enclosing Siebel context. You can enclose the <div od-type="xxx"> element to create this context. For example, Siebel CRM commonly includes the <div od-property> tag in a multipart <div od-type="control"> element. In this situation, the <div od-property> tag is an alias for the control. You use it to display properties of the control. In some situations, the context is less direct. For example, if Siebel CRM includes a <div od-property> element in an applet template file, and if the <div od-property> tag is not in any <div od-type="control"> tag, then it is an alias for the applet and you can use it to display properties of the applet.
