Understanding Class Attributes

Class attributes are grouped into categories and appear in a tabbed dialog box for each class.

Note:

PeopleSoft Application Designer does not render certain style class formatting attributes at design time. You might be able to see the attribute at runtime only. Also, not all browsers support every style class attribute.

PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture supports the attributes that are listed in the World Wide Web Consortium (W3), Cascading Style Sheets, Level 1.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1.

Every class has each of these major attributes, which correspond to a tab in the Class dialog box.

Background
