Changing HTML Area Labels

Assign a distinct label to your HTML area to distinguish it from other HTML area controls on the Order tab of the page definition.

Note:

Unlike other page controls, the label for an HTML area is displayed on the Order tab only and is not displayed at runtime when the page is rendered in the browser.

This example illustrates the Label tab of the HTML Area Properties dialog box.
